While doing the mission, UNC: Missing Marines, I can warp to Artemus Tau. I can travel to Sparta system. I can pull up Edolus planet window with planet info. But when I hit the "Land" button, the game animation starts where Normandy is flying into atmosphere and then a window pops up on screen. In window it says " bad name index 101120/749" . And when I close that window the game shuts down.
Known mission bug? Broken mission? Grimlins in my system? Any help would be appreciated.
Alienware Area 51
GE Force 8800 GTX card
4 GB RAM / 2.6 GM RAM showing.
Have not had any problem with game at all to this point.
Mass Effect 1 : Missing Marines mission game crash.

Recurring errors in the same spot often indicate a corrupt installation, especially when the game is otherwise working fine. This can mean some trouble if you have to re-install. The good news is, if the problem does lie with (a) corrupted file(s), nothing is going wrong with your system.
If you got the game through a Direct Download service like Steam, Impulse, etc. you may be able to tell the download client to "Verify" your installation and make sure all the files are intact. If you have the game on disc, or if your Direct Download service doesn't support verification for Mass Effect, you'll have to re-install.
If re-installing Mass Effect 1, I'm uncertain if it will keep your save games. I recommend backing up your Bioware\\Mass Effect\\Save directory, which you can find under My Documents in Windows XP. (Try looking under C:\\User\\ for Vista/7?)
To try verifying your files on your Direct Download service:
In Steam, right-click on the game and select "Properties." Select the "Local Files" tab and click the button that says "Verify integrity of game cache..."
In Impulse, right-click on the game. On the menu that pops up, there may be an option to "Verify Installation." (I do not see this option for my Mass Effect 2 DDE. Can anyone comment on Mass Effect 1?)
