I can't imagine what the issue is - bcz I still cant get mods to work
there are no other user accounts on my machine
my experience with systems & windows xp is pretty deep so if it was something silly - I probably would have been able to figure it out already.
my installation of windows xp is pretty bare bones & most non-essential services are turned off in order to maximize performance on my rig.
The one thing I thought might have been causing the issue is that my system drive (C:) is comprised of 2 10k WD 74 gig Raptors in a RAID 0 config (Blazing fast performance w this setup)
& the drive that I keep the "my documents" (pictures, etc.) folder is held on a seperate hard drive (D:) that drive is a standard 7200k drive, I set things up like this because there"s no need to keep pics, mp3's, movies & all that on the RAID setup - it would just be a waste. So I even went as far as creating
"D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods"
on that drive with a simple copy of the
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods"
& still no good - I thought maybe it could have been the fault of minor glitch, or a reg key pointing to the wrong drive.
I even tried starting the game from original .exe in the install folder in order to bypass the start menu (as mentioned in someone's earlier post) - no good.
If anyone has a better suggestion other than emailing stardock (thx for posting their support email though) ... I'm all ears. Although it seems a support request might be the solution @ this point.
Thx for everyones help still!
