Also, have you ever unpacked your game (in which case you need to find and delete data\descr_geography_new.txt and data\descr_geography_new.db)
Have you changed anything from the VanillaMod installation, like modified a file or added/removed any file?
Have you got both 0.93 and the emergency fix installed?
