This is a first, but it appears that your settings.dat file has become corrupted. Most likely the cause is a bad sector on your hard drive (scandiak would be a good idea for protecting the rest of your computer), or some sort of malware on your system (virus and spyware scanning may also be a good idea).

Your settings.dat file will be in the same folder as the error message you got below. Simply delete the old one, and the game will create a new one for you. If you are playing a non-steam version you will need to re-enter your license key, and on any version you will needto reselect your settings and recreate your profile. Your savegames are stored elsewhere and should be easy to load to get your local highscores and local achievements back.

Not with ai war, but with other programs, I have seen both malware and bad disks cause this sort of thing, so it would be a good idea to take this as an early warning sign and scan for issues before something else is corrupted -- I've certainly been there!
