Actually, Casuir, I did read up on how to set the game up for modding...how do you suppose I got this far? I stand by my statement that they made it just as complicated as possible. I'm sorry we can't all be computer whizzes as no doubt you are.

Thank you Lusted for the heads-up on the system log text. However, on a tottally re-installed clean game with no changes, I get all kinds of warnings and missing this and missing that...and on the prior problem the last line said something about an unknown system error. So I'm not sure exactly what you mean about much more useful information on errors, but I'm sure you know what you are talking about-maybe I'll find out as I go on.
