0.90 Beta cannot enter VAB and crash when leaving other buildings

[seadart]

I've read through the problem explained an another thread (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/105651-KSC-Buildings-Lock-Up-Can-t-Click-on-Anything-Firing-Kerbal-Crashes-Game) but I believe this is a different issue. I cannot enter the VAB and although I can enter the other buildings, I cannot leave them. If I hit the exit button in the upper right corner, the screen does not change, only another exit button in the lower right corner appears. Pressing that button brings up the game menu, but I cannot select exit from that menu. I needed to force close the program to exit.

Following the instructions in the previous thread, I found there was an errant mission to rescue "Ed Kerman" from orbit and another kerbal who is on my crew is not listed. I tried to make that fix but the game still crashed. I noticed that the number of Active Contracts is "99" with a Max of "00" but there are no completed contracts listed in the archive.

Although I do have MechJeb 2.4.1.0, SCANsat 8.1 and Station Science 1.3.1 installed, I posted in this forum because have no reason to believe they have any impact on the game in the building view nor have I received any contracts involving those mods.

Alternatively just delete the contract in the persistence file.

EDIT: Why did my edit delete what I had previously put? I never touched it.

so the issue IS with the rescue kerbal contract. You need to add Ed Kerman in the crew roster as available or dead. He is not listed in the persistence file provided.

Thank you for taking a look at these files. I added Ed Kerman to the the roster. The game still won't let me enter the VAB or exit from another building. I also tried deleting the mission involving Ed Kerman (and the associated crew entry) as well as replacing the name of Ed Kerman with the name of another kerbal in my roster. The mission list still shows Active Contracts is "99" with a Max of "00" but with no completed contracts listed in the archive. Would you please take another look and let me know what other error is causing these problems? I have updated the Persistent and output log files.

There may be more than one kerbal out of place. Check to make sure every kerbal in the Contract and Progress Tree sections of persistence.sfs appears in the Crew Roster at the end.

Which version of ksp are you playing? Windows 32-bit or windows 64-bit? Look at the version number on the main menu. If it ends with (x64), you are playing the 64-bit version, which is unstable and may be the cause.

If it's not one of those things then I have no idea.

OK, I got it to work. I took another look and found Jedlan Kerman wasn't attached. It seems the Active Contracts is "99" with a Max of "00" issue was an artifact of the crew issue. Thank you for your help.
