problem with proportions mod

[delijoe]

I installed SEIV gold and the proportions mod as shown in the readme, and when I start the game it gives me error Messages when I try to load an existing empire...and even when I create my own empire when I start the game, the system window is completely black. I tried manually changing the path file, same result. What am I doing wrong? Is the proportions mod on the CD corrupt? It seems like other mods are working just fine.
