The Blue Sun Mod

[OneMug]

Installed 7.62 & BSM 1.8 "successfully" (sic) in C:\7.62 - High Calibre folder.
Have 2 icons on desktop, 7.62 & BSM.
Clicking on either loads up the opening screens, & menu just fine.
Changed in game graphics, preferences, etc. options, esp. screen resolution to 1280x1020.
(Note: I just reinstalled BE5 with the Bloody Money mod and it runs OK at that settings).
I get the Mercs screen & browse through my choices. Beautiful
Select a Merc, add discretionary points, then start...
Crash to Desktop.

Got the "program did a bad thing and was shut down" window.

Opened e6config.exe to match & save my settings. Windowed mode check on & off, etc. Kept fiddling with things, then restarting. Same result CTD after merc selection and trying to start the game; "no joy"!

Ran a dxdiag and saved the report to a file. Don't know if I should send it as an attachment to 1C support or copy & paste the lengthy report in a reply on this forum or both.

I would appreciate some guidance/suggestions at this point.
Thanks, OneMug
