Crash when recovering fighters in tactical combat

Hi, i have just got SE5 and its great except that i cant recover my fighters once they have launched in the tactical combat.

Here is a break down of what happens for me, I launch the fighters (this works fine) Then i click on recover fighters with condensed view turned on in the recover window and hit recover on the fighters, close the window and they do nothing. If i try to select the fighters the game crashes to desktop with some kind of memory violation error.

I did notice strangely after some testing that if i hit recover then close the window and open it again and re-deply the fighters it now says are onboard a new set of fighters comes out of the carrier so i now have 2 sets and then if i select any of them it crashes. It would seem as if it thinks they have been recovered and is getting stuck in some kind of loop where it creates massive ammouts of the units or something. This alos dosent seem to be affected by how may it happens with 1 or 100.

Any help would be great as this is a bit of a game breaker for me.

Thanks.
