Object reference not set to an instance of object?

clux

Experienced the error "Object reference not set to an instance of object" when trying to load a station I had saved earlier in the day.  Can no longer open file.  Any ideas?

Pop up window reads: "An unhandled excepetion has occured, program is now in an undefined state..."

Hi,

I see the same message when set the station in a memorized condition in the simulation manager.
Do you know how to fix this problem?

Thanks for the help.
