Faction Editor Crashes My Game!

[favetvshows1x3]

I read about the Firaxis faction on Gamefaqs, and I used the Faction Editor that came with the game to do it. But after I added it to the game, after I get the "your CPU is not supported" message (nothing new), the gmae quits to my desktop!
And the Editor itself is a problem, because if I switch tabs, the words from the previous tab stay there, and it becomes a jumbled mess of overlayed letters.

Don't use the faction editor. Learn how to modify the faction files by hand. Lots of information is present in alpha.txt/alphax.txt, but more can be found at

http://www.networknode.org/

or at other SMAX sites, or in the Alpha Centauri Creation forum.

Well, I do that, it's just that the Faction Editor was more of a convienience becuase I just wanted to add it to the game, not edit anything.
