I have done a search using the Windows search machine but get a nil return. I have then looked physically through all ? the folders etc. but also with no result. Following some advice I removed the update mod, reinstalled the 1.5 mod and completed my mission. Then removed the 1.5 mod, reinstalled the update mod and guess what, same, same. No strategicred.dds file. Could someone please help me with this one, if necessary sending me the ####### .dds file.

strategicred.dds is a stock game file, it should have been in Data/Menu/Gui folder. TMO may change it, but if it is missing you may want to consider a reinstall of the game, something caused it to get deleted.
If you did a snapshot of your game files with JSGME when you first installed it, you may want to go to Tasks and "Compare game files with snapshot". That will let you know if you have any other problems.

Edit: I think I misread your post. You are installing TMO 1.5? I misread it and thought the file was missing in SH4 version 1.5.
