Problem: some ships/aircraft in the museum are all black after installation of PE 3_3 Install and PE 3_3 2a (Special Effects for Stock). The crews and some of the gun mounts are textured, the hull is jet black. The ships/aircraft were:

COLORADO BB
BLACK SWAN Sloop
FLOWER PG
SUNDERLAND Patrol Plane
Aredo 196 Recon Plane

My installation of the game is:
I am running the Gold version of the game so I got SH IV v 1.5 straight out of the box. I just did a clean install of the game, following Doolittle's stickied procedure. I had no other mods running. I used JGSME to install PE 3_3. I checked out the museum at three places:
1. Right after SHIV v1.5 installation - ALL ships/aircraft had all their textures.
2. Right after PE 3_3 main install - ALL ships/aircraft had all their textures.
3. Right after PE 3_3 2a install - the listed ships/aircraft above were black

My system specs:
Toshiba Portege
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.5 GHz
2.99 GB Ram
Windows XP tablet Pc edition 2005 version 2002 SP 3
Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Graphics Card
drivers are current (at least according to my manufacturer)

Oh yes, I used JGSME to uninstall first PE 3_3 2a and then PE3_3 main: the problems stayed even though the "compare" feature in JGSME showed that there were no changes from my snapshot from the clean SHIV v1.5 install.

Any ideas? I visually checked every object in the museum and only those objects listed at the top of my post appear to have been affected by this issue.

Any help/ideas would be great!
