Eureka! I figured it out. I reread the string under the post “Help! Game won't save ("ERROR unable to save into slot")” and found another step at this link from WanderingHead http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1879393
It reveals that “A common problem is that old saves in an incompatible format (i.e. generated before some kind of file format change took place in a patch) cause the game to crash.
This can happen even without you opening the file, because the game tries to open it to display the map image and dates in the file interface screen. It can also happen even if you've never saved a game, because the basic game actually ships with a very old (development timeframe) save file included! (that is, of course, an "oops!")
What to do?
If you have crashes that look like this, then go to the dat/save directory and delete all save files (*.psv, *.sav). Try again and see if it works better now.”
Deleting all old saved games was the answer. Now I’m off again. Thanks
