Default help with Pirates and Nomads mod?

I went to http://www.geocities.com/hohoho611ca/imagepack2sg.html

Downloaded all the modpacks listed, and put them in the indicated directories:

c:...\pictures\components
for the Componentpack
c:...\pictures\facility
for the FacilityPack
and so on.

But, when I try to design a ship (after launching with the modpicker 2.26 and selecting "Pirates and nomads V3.1pbw"), I see no small picture for "mount reports" (though I do see a big picture when I right click it to bring up a description) and while I DO see the figure of three men (blue, red, green) in the small image for "Swashbucklers", when I right click, I get the error message: "Cannot open file c:\progra~1\shrapn~1\malfad~1\space empires gold iv\pictures\components\comp_286.bmp."

Please let me know if I'm doing something obviously wrong...
Thanks!
Merry

Comp 286 has no portrait graphic. SJ made one for it, and it should have been in the latest Comps pack. Edit: Here is a link: 1060545937.zip

Thanks. That did the trick. And, the blank for "Mount reports" is intentional, I am guessing, since it's a place holder?

What exactly is "Mount Reports"? Is it a component, or the mounts button in the top right? If it is the mounts button, you will need to select a ship hull size before any mounts can show up.

It's one of the components choices that appears in ship design. Unlike other components (e.g., engines) it has no picture. If I right click this empy square, I see a big picture and a statement that it is a place holder.
