problem with proportions mod

[Tnarg]

I am having a bit of a problem with the Proportions Mod. I have first utilized the mod on the the cd, and then downloaded 1.5, and recently 1.5.3. Two problems arise that I no of.
1. In the game setup I get a load error everytime I try to add existing race.
2. By bypassing this and just creating a new race and the finally loads, my main window or system window is blank. I can move the cursor around on it and names will pop up just no pictures.

Is there an easy fix to this. Please help.
