Birth of the Federation

It started it before I saved it though. I reopened the game it was still where I left off. Is there any updates or anything for the game? I see posts about an exe fix I dont know!

I am on turn 251 and when i click turn it starts to load and then the game interrupts and a box pops up and says trek.exe stopped working... Computer cannot find solution to problem... I downloaded from disc....

I have Vista and i am trying to play BOTF and I ma playing a game and suddenly it starts stopping while I am takeing a turn saying trek.exe stoppped working I am ignorant when it comes to technical solutions so I am looking for help here.
