Here are my system specs:

Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
1Gb RAM
nVidia FX5200 128Mb

I kind of had the same idea regarding the graphics-altering mods. I'll try to disable them and see if it improves the situation.

Also, in the mean time my game no longer loads past a certain point. I load it up through SH3Cmdr, then when I go to start a patrol, it loads and then the word "Initializing" comes on the screen and that's it. The game just hangs there. Then it makes a beeing noise. So I Ctrl+Alt+Del and I see a little window has popped up saying "Menu ID not found: 0x3f010022!". I noticed this started happening after I tried activating Venatore's Tactical Green mod and Compulsory U-boat Headdress mod. Any idea why these would be causing this error?
