I'm getting this error when clicking on the galactic map button, just after having run through the tutorial.
The same error comes up if clicking on diplomacy or events.

Similarly getting this error when clicking the system view button.
Running vista 32.
Edit: Second one was resolved by downloading and registering another copy of msstdfmt.dll. System view now gives the same error as the others. Checked comdlg32.ocx and it is both present and registered, but the error remains.

For the first, during installation, did you overwrite the DLL? If so, you might want to see if you can extract it from your Vista dvd.

For anyone else who runs into this, type the below into the start->run.
Code: [Select]
regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\COMDLG32.OCX

Gah! Headdesk! Managed to solve this by UNregistering comdlg32.ocx
For anyone else who runs into this, type the below into the start->run.Code: [Select]regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\COMDLG32.OCX
If you put COMDL32.OCX into the Aurora game directory, you do not need to do this

Although I don't think that works in windows7 or vista? I think you actually do have to register the DLLs in the newer OSs.

Well, since I'm currently running on 7, and was previously running vista, I'd have to say it definately works on both, Registering the file is basically adding it to the path, if it's in the same directory as the executable, windows doesnt need to be directed to its location.

Dam, didn't work for me on my Win7 install. A lot of things went screwy with mine actually so I ended up reinstalling it on a partition which was outside UAC control!
