I found another program to add to the list. It's called Zoomex. I don't recall installing it, but after trial and error with the 142 message, it turned out this was my problem.

Thank you for such an awesome game!! Your work is the best that I've played in a long time! Thanks for treating us as people and not money targets. You will always have my support and money as long as I keep playing games!! You guys are the best. Keep up the awesome work.
