eQUEST crashes after DD Wizard

I'm noticing this happening after I create a model in the Wizard. I get through the whole process and hit "Finish" with no issues. I save the file, then enter into Detailed Edit mode, and save that as another file. I can make changes as usual and ensure no BDL errors, but when I try to simulate anything, the BDL Load File Progress gets to 99% then stops. A pop-up message appears declaring "Building Energy Simulation Tool has stopped working", and I have no other option but to close the program. This happens with both the Wizard and Detailed versions of the file when I try to open them. I've tried starting a fresh file and importing the INP, but the same thing happens.

Am I doing something wrong in the Wizard that is corrupting something? Does anyone know how I can keep what I did in the Wizard and get to a workable file?

Thanks!
