Using SHCommander and JSGME and readme files

[Merchant Raider]

Hi All
I am fairly new to SH3 and i cannot get enough of it and also reading all the posts from all you great people out there and i have already gotten some help from some of the guys and it has been great,,but some times i think that mods can be very confusing for a person like myself that is not great with computers i can deal with the hardware end but not the software bit ( like looking in to a bush to me ! ) ie. loading SHCommander and if a mod is jsgme ready and if one mod will conflict with another when it is enabled and how to fix it.
I will give you an example at the moment when i try to load SHCommander i get the following message, INVALID ARGUMENT TO DATE ENCODE, i have not a clue how to resolve it or even know what is wrong so i can learn from it,also the conflicts i get when i try to enable mods or to try to download the lastest version of JSGME and i get the updated JSGME version but no mods on the screen to enable ?,how do i bring the mods from the old version,i have followed the user info but i still must be doing something wrong, is the cause of all my problems the mods that i have installed ? i have listed them below.


GWX - Alternative Flotillas
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - No Medals on Crew
GWX 2.1 Minor fix's 26th April
GWX 2.1 Mission Orders
Seafloor SF V3 Final
QueenMaryFixed
IXD2 MK4
Thomsen Dockside by Payoff
WH_IX_Series_Final_2048
LifeBoats&Debris_v3B
Schleuse_Brunsbuettel_Holtenau_MOD_V.1.0
Church Obs Per for GWX 2.0 (Integrated Orders)
Cargo_Crater V1
AOTD-AA-Ship-Schleuse-Bugfix

So really what it comes down is their a online manual that can help some one like me that does not have a great knowledge of computers and using fies and folders and is there others like me with the same problem ?.
Sorry if this is a bit long winded but i am trying to get across my frustrament at trying to get SH3 to work right,( up to May 1944 and it crashes .
Thank a lot for reading
