UVMapper Error during 3D Game Programming All-In-1 Book

I'm currently working through Kenneth Finney's 3D Game Programming book after purchasing Torque and I haven't had any problems until I got to Ch 14 when you use UVMapper to Unwrap the character model. It first has you take the whole model and unwrap it with the Planar setting which works fine for me. Then, it has you just select the head and unwrap that spherically and whatever I do here the program errors and crashes. It's not just my model either, I tried using the finished model he supplies on the CD and it crashes when trying to unwrap the head seperately as well. Does anyone know what the problem could be or a solution?

Thanks
Alex

If you are using Milkshape that came on the CD packaged with the book, you may just google Milkshape and grab the latest version off their site. It is probably just a random bug in Milkshape and I know there have been many releases since it was released on the CD.

I downloaded the new version of Milkshape and tried it all again but I get the same error in UVMapper as before. I can't find a way around the error either.
