When I try to open L5R in Card Vault I get an "Out of memory" message.

Yes, I've tried closing all other applications.
Yes, I've tried removing the file that I was working on before everything went haywire.
I've also tried reinstalling Card Vault.

I'm not a computer wiz, but don't CV and CVEdit use the same definition file? If I can't use CV because of a faulty definition file, shouldn't I also be unable to open CVEdit? (CVEdit continues to work beautifully.)
I just tried testing this. For some reason, the latest L5R data files won't even import for me. The import file is being reported as invalid. So I can seem to recreate this problem at the moment, and I have to leave in a couple hours for our local Con this weekend.

Save any new files you've added into a separate directly somewhere. Then try re-importing the L5R data files, allowing CV to delete all files that aren't being replaced. Then see if the L5R files will load. Once they load, try adding your separate content back in, one file at a time. Hopefully, it will all work.

Both CV and CVEdit use the same definition file. However, they use the file in very different ways. So it's quite possible that one will fail and the other will work fine when there is a glitch in the definition file. No, CV should not crash, but it's not surprising the CV fails on a file that CVEdit handles without any problems.
