What version of windows are you running? I have heard that windows 98 sometimes has this problem, and there isn't an easy solution for it either!

Probably, ure gonna have 2 upgrade... XP iz wut i have. Make sure u get HOME EDITION, not XP Pro. Thats if u take my advice... Or, the mod is screwed up... Try re-installing FL. That may also solve it

I like eggs

Its a common problem that mods adding to existing dlls seem to leave it with the text being 'invisble' during the gameplay. The only resolution appears to be transfering all the information into new dll files for the mod - and reinstatnig the original ones to their original state (otherwise known as recoding all the ini entries for your equipment, and deleteing the modified ones).

By the way - when i did that for Evo 1.27 - it took me around 30 hours of solid work to transfer all the dlls stuff!
