I have a new Dell Dimension 450 with 96 mgs. of RAM, 14 mgs. of free HD space, Turtle Beach Montego sound card yadda ya...DirectX 6.0, and cannot play any of the scenarios which I create. Here is the error:
TERRAN caused an invalid page fault in
module TERRAN.EXE at 018f:00403b3f.

Can someone please help me? Is this going to be fixed by patch v. 3.0? I've been waiting for an answer to this question for awhile.
Also, I started a new map and want to place factions. However, I cannot figure out how to do this short of setting down new colony pods. These, however, start off with city names normally reserved for 2nd cities. Please help. I'm becoming very impatient.

I unfortunately have very little hands on with the scenarios. What are you doing that's causing the issue? Spell it out and I'll get some other eyes on it.

I am creating scenarios from scratch, using the HUGE MAP option. Also, I have used existing maps and have added one or two tweaks such as getting rid of rocky terrain or restructuring land masses while keeping original faction start cities intact. Either way, I cannot start any scenario which I create. I can even take a game which I've started, go into scenarior mode, make one modification and, upon restart in scenario mode, have it crash on me.
I hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem he is. I have a P400 with 128 RAM....
I've created a small planet with about 50/50 land/water and place one colony pod for each faction and it still won't work. I get the the invalid page fault error when I try to start playing it.
