Took your advice and reinstalled the Visual C++ Runtime Library. Reloaded the game and ToBEx came up with no problems. Very awesome, so thank you very much for your help. I consider myself pretty good at troubleshooting things like this, but I could only dream of being so good at coding that I could come up with something that affects the game engine the way ToBEx does, let alone troubleshooting it for others. Keep up the good work.

And even though my new install means I have to start over in my Throne of Bhaal game, I still had my old save and plugged it in to see how it runs with the new variable fix. It runs AMAZING!! I'd gotten so used to the stuttering getting worse and worse through a full SoA/ToB game that it just brought a smile to my face to see my characters walking from Point A to Point B with no stuttering whatsoever. It feels like it's been forever since the game has run this smooth.

Having a couple issues with the mod downloads.

Using the latest 20120422.exe version. Interface and everything else works fine. Categorizing the mods is an awesome move; much more efficient than the older version I used to have that made everything random. Same with the ability to pick and choose mod components.

But when I get to the downloads screen, I have problems. I check the download availability and it saw that every mod I'm looking to install is available (I'm using the megamod-plus option, plus a few extra recommended and standard mods). But when I download, it only fully downloads a small number of the total mods. The others are detected and downloaded, but only a small amount before the downloader skips to the next one. So in my Mod Download folder, I have a full listing of files, but about 95% of them are only 30-40 kb's and are useless.

So in summary, the setup shows that the mods are available for download, and on the download screen it detects them when it goes to fetch them, but they only get downloaded for a second or two before the downloader skips to the next one before finishing.

Has anybody else had the same problems with getting the downloader to do a full job?
