In your picture everything is working fine up to the point where the program tries to find the text to show, but for some reason can't find the text to insert.

IIRC I had a similar problem with Stiebler's mod. I think the problem was I had somehow made a mistake editing the en_menu.txt file. Try checking that the file is ok.

If this does not help, try posting to the SH3 mod forum. Stiebler is still visiting his thread and might have time to help you.

that is just a 1 in 3 thing in the picture normally it CTDs still looking for the cause might be the little button thing that you can press at the RO station as i havent edited that file (if i remember correctly the menu.ini). i would need a side by side comparison because the instructions i read where around the modding of the GWX. without looking at an already edited one i am screwed because i have tried everything under the sun and i keep getting CTDs (thank god for backups)

I don't play NYGM myself so can't help you there. Hopefully someone else can be of assistance :)

here is what the instructions say
4. In order to introduce the new button, it is necessary to make the following changes:
a) Create a new entry [G3F I210] in your menu_1024_768.ini file, in the radio-man group, as shown below. IMPORTANT-1: if your ‘RO Report’ is not numbered [G3F I209], then the new grid button must be given the next consecutive number to your ‘RO Report’ value. GWX appears to have the same values as those shown below for NYGM.
b) Change the POS value in the existing entry [G3F I215] where shown in RED below.
IMPORTANT-2: It is then necessary to renumber ALL the successive entries for group G3F. You can do this manually, or use a renumbering tool, such as that of H.sie.
