Hmmm. Maybe install and use the latest version, and if that doesn't work, try regenerating data.sav. Hope you get your game working.

The 1234 is the main file folder for that individual save game.  Click on it, there should be a drop-down submenu with an entry that reads "1234 [Main]" that when selected will activate the Play Game button. At any time during gameplay, the F6 key will add a new entry in the submenu so you can save a snapshot of that place in the game, and it will be neatly filed under that 1234 folder with "1234 _SUB_#".  It's just a more organized menu layout. 

The benefit to replaying this game is that you get to give yourself a boost for the next game through the mailbox. If hash codes and server maintenance are the part of the game that feels like a drag to you, mail yourself a Kerfus Omega. (Either one that becomes a plushy when deactivated, or hit the robot to turn it in to parts.) Start your new game with an assistant who does all the servers and hash codes from day one. 

I am not against more creepy events being put into the game. But the way this game is set up, if there is something that really annoys you, more often than not, you can just opt out or set up a workaround that lets you play how you want to play.
