Hey guys,

So, I removed the mods and put them back. Still had a few issues, however it seemed better. It wasn't crashing. So, I suspected my video card or unknown processes doing it.

I decided to do a few upgrades(I really needed them).

I did have

AMD Athlon 64 3300+ 2.4ghz
1.5 GB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 6200 256mb Video Card

Needless to say, I got around 6-7 FPS, and I manged to finish 6 patrols on that...

Upgraded to this

AMD Athlon 64 3300+ 2.4ghz
2 GB of RAM
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3650 512 MB Video Card
22" Widescreen LCD Monitor(got it from a friend)

Now I run A LOT faster. Main screen is 100+ FPS, In Sub is at 50-70 FPS, and External runs 30 - 46ish.

It's like going from Dial up to Cable, or going from no video card to a video card. Simply Amazing..

Only problem I have is that the "Native" or as they say Optium screen resolution for this monitor is 1680x1050, however when I select that the desktop is cut off of the monitor, although I can move the mouse and the screen will shift. But I can use 1600x1200 and it looks fairly good, and that's what I run in SH4.

No conflicting issues with Mods so far, I am going to re install the rest when I get back to port. WEBSTER, thanks for the info on how to reinstall them.

VERY pleased with the new upgrades
