With GURPS Character Assistant 4 running, I tried to open a character I last saved in February 2010. I got the message "GCACharacter:ThisItemAffectsThatItem: Error 5: Invalid procedure call or argument." When I clicked OK on the message the program shut down. I tried the same thing with a character I last saved in GCA4 in December 2011. I got the same problem.

To try it differently, with the program shut down I tried opening one of the characters by double-clicking on it. GCA4 started loading, then gave me the same error message, and when I clicked OK it shut down.

I did Check for Update, and got "Your version of GURPS Character Assistant is up to date. However, please check here to make sure you have the most current versions of the data files."

The data files are ones I already have.

What can I do to call up my characters?
