Hello. Sorry to bother you, but I seem to be having this problem as well. I just bought the game through steam, since I've had my eye on it for a while and I love astrology. I took the plunge while it was on sale, and was getting really exited to make the earth fly into the sun. But as soon as I started the game up, I got an error message, with the crash log of:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
It gives me 2 options, Continue, or Quit. Continuing does nothing, as the little spinning circle with the name of "Form 1" keeps going forever, and Quit... well... quits. I've tried everything the OP mentioned, and nothing seems to work. I'd prefer fixing it now, instead of waiting for the next major update (lol), if that's even possible. But if there's nothing I can do to help the problem, then all I can say is for Dan to take his time and not feel rushed. This seems like a fantastic simluator, and I'd like to enjoy a working version
.
