As Colt mentioned, some of the mods you install have to be treated with care. The map mod will give you the direct X problem if you've tried to replace a star lane(3 or more turns to travel) with a warp lane (1 turn). For some reason the game doesn't like when you mess with these. Some of the mods that allow you to get extra points for building your race also cause this problem. Just don't install to many mods at once. One at a time and run the game after each mod is installed.

It was a well done mod with one or two phrases out of place. You can go into the mod and fix them yourself if they haven't been fixed already.
