It has happened several times that the game freezes when I call the research screen .
The screen looks like that :

The mouse moves but I can neither close the window nor click on any research item (and of course not on any othrr button) .
When this happens, the only way is to kill the application through the Task Manager .

I haven't had this happen, but sometimes the Research box flickers when my mouse moves over the categories. Did you get an Error Log generated when yours froze up ?

No error message and see no file called Error Log in the SC directory .

Well, I would think it would be in the main C: directory somewhere, but I found it here [below]. However, I am playing user campaigns so if you are playing the stock campaign, the Error Log might be elsewhere. Here is what the location looks like on my W7 machine:

OK, found the errorlog in C: even if my game is in I: . No mention about this crash .
Only a bunch of "failed to blit surface" but this is another old story .

Ok, thanks for finding it, at least now we know that the error log can be of no assistance in this matter

Have you tried hitting the ESC key? Works for me when the research screen freezes.
