Default GCA fails to load a character (Runtime error 13)

Hi everyone,

my girlfriend has been suffering from a somewhat odd problem with GCA; a character file that used to work just fine on a Windows XP installation of GCA crashes the program. Soon after trying to open the character on her laptop (which is running W7) it will just show a dialog with "Runtime Error '13': Type Mismatch" message and fail. Even more curiously, the same character did still load successfully on the W7 machine of our GM, who's also using GCA.

We've tried uninstalling and re-installing the application (including removing gca.ini as suggested in the FAQ) and running the updates, but the problem seems to persist.

We suspect it might be related somehow to the Banestorm data file, as her character has a dragon template applied and furthermore if I create a new character and apply the same Dragon - Young (Banestorm) template her character uses and save it, then try to load it, it will crash in completely similar manner.

Any ideas..?
