Game Drops To Desktop When I Try To Restore Game

[steppingstone]

Greetings all,

Game:
Eschelon Book 1 (Full Version) w/ Patch 1.04

Issue:
About half the time I attmpt to RESTORE a game from the QUICK SAVE (SLOT1) I get dropped to my desktop;

System Info:
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.090206-1233)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: AWARD_
System Model: AWRDACPI
BIOS: )Phoenix - Award WorkstationBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1.70GHz
Memory: 960MB RAM
Page File: 559MB used, 1748MB available
Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode

Notes:
I recently had to reinstall my OS because my HDD crashed. I reinstalled Eschelon Book I at that time. Since that reinstall I have experienced two issues that I never had before.
(1) Save game slots missing - known issue - fixed by manualy recreating the appropriate "slot" folders.
(2)Current issue - game drops me to desktop when I attempt to RESTORE from QUICK SAVE (SLOT1).

Any thoughts or input will be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like a file(s) got corrupted in that slot... I've had this happen once before when re-rolling chests on a frequent basis. Have you tried deleting all of the files in the slot 1 folder, then re-quicksaving and attempting to restore? You'll lose that save, which sucks, but this method fixed the problem for me.
