Okay mate but I think it would help, I've read posts saying that the 4GB patch is required to run these with Windows 7. I am 99.99999% sure that the problem is memory-related.

AFAIK you can backup the required files first and try it.

Best Regards

PS. I have observed that if I try and run these mods after I have worked on the computer for a while then I either get a CTD or the game ceases to repond about 90/95% through campaign load. I re-boot the PC, close down and non-required system tray-loaded programs and run the game straight away and no-problem, loads 100% every time without fail. This has to be a memory issue as, with a clean boot there's no memory clutter and thus eveyrthing works as it shoud. I have 4GB of RAM but my guess is that with all these big mods loaded I can just scrape home provided I run from clean boot. I'm always in and out of S3ditor, Photoshop etc. and they are nibbling away at the RAM so a clean-boot with the patch is, IMO, the way to go.
