It could be a duplicate item id number (the long hexadecimal string).

sublynx, I assumed to just drop the gridxxx.tga into layout and that was it. is there more to do with this? I mean like I said, it is there, just invisible!

as far as the attack disk is concerned Pisces, I use the disk often, I mean I love that thing, and if there is a conflict, there is none with the attack disk. I would assume if there were conflicts, the disk would not work properly.

I'm at my phone right now so I can't check how many tga's gridxxxx contains but it needs at least 2. One for the actual picture and one for the handle that you drag the grid picture with.

I'm sure your right but the file I downloaded only had one

Gridxxxx
 

This is what the inside of the downloaded and opened 7zip folder looks like.
The readme file explains install procedures.

Yes that is what I have. I even used the illustrations to do it right.

Hmmm. Maybe you could post the relevant part of your menu_1024_768.ini file here, or upload the whole file somewhere to make it possible to take a look at it. I do need to get back to my computer to do that, but this is getting mysterious. This mod really should work in almost any SH3 with minimal or no problems.
