When does it happen?, have you tried just starting a new game (not load scenario), which scenario were you trying to load?
And most importantly - did you try reinstalling the game first? Try this procedure (after you back-up anything you want to keep, including savegames, highscore file and mods)
1. Uninstall all patches (from the Add/Remove section in the Windows Control Panel)
2. Uninstall PtW
3. Uninstall Civ3
4. Delete the Civilization III directory manually
5. Install Civ3
6. Install PtW
7. Install Patch 1.14f
8. Install the scenario (unless it's already installed by one of the previous steps)

You don't need to install 1.29f - it's included in PtW - so just Civ3, then PtW, then patch 1.14f.
Though if you've already done it, there should be no harm from installing 1.29f - it's just not necessary, that's all
Let me know how it goes.

Ok great. I see that you have sent me the save file, so I'll still check it out when I get back, as I'm also using Detonator 41.09, so it would be an interesting experiment. (well, if you're a geek like me and loves doing stuff like that anyway )

@redhulkz: I tried reproducing the error, but didn't get any crash. I can enter talks with the civs from F4 and exit again without any crash error.
Did you already try going through the entire reinstallation sequence as above. If you havent reinstalled Civ3 yet (but only PtW) please try going through the steps above and see if it helps.
@Deevo: I didn't get a crash with Detonator 41.09, but I think I have a feeling what's causing your crash. It's probably the New Age/Era splash screen which also pops up when you discover metallurgy that for some reason can't be displayed properly (at least when you have 41.09 installed) so it could be some graphics driver problem or something connected with some of your hardware. I'll try to see if I can figure out what can go wrong when the game tries to display that image.
