Problems and solutions for installing or running FreeOrion, including discussion of bugs if needed before posting a bug report on GitHub. For problems building from source, post in Compile.
On selection of either Quick Start or Single Player from the main menu, I am receiving 3 copies of the following error window.
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1. 12 GB RAM, Intel i7-2600 @ 3.40 GHz.
When I close each of the 3 windows in turn, the game finally comes up. I am started as a Human on Homam. The start is the same for both Single Player and Quick Start. I have never seen the Galaxy Setup dialogue. Can anyone shed some light on these errors? Thanks in advance for the help.

32bit or 64bit windows 7?, i'd hate to make assumptions here but seeing as you could be a 32bit or 64bit processor on a 32bit or 64bit system with 32bit or 64bit runtimes being loaded by a 32bit or 64bit program... it could be useful
yesterday I did a factory reset of dell w7 32bit starter on my 64bit sony and am fully updated minus one [annoying] 3/12/13 Microsoft update and i'm not receiving errors.
thanks for a great game.

Being able to start a game, but getting three freeorionca.exe errors suggests something weird is happening with Python on your system. Installing a fresh copy of Python 2.7, or removing an existing Python install, or removing environment variables related to Python might help.
Thanks for the direction guys. It seems that for some reason msvcr90.dll was in my python path. I simply renamed it and the problem went away. Thanks to both responders, though Geoff the Medio was closest to the solution.
