    I recently intalled Cloie and Auren Auspen, and when I try to launch/uninstall it "not a valid talk file too small" and this is with any mod I try to install now.
    also I can't lauch the game anymore "An Assertion failed in CHTlkTbl.cpp at line number 90" Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'll try that but I can't find all my disks to install it again. I might have to order the game again.

    Uninstalling the mods may be the key, do it one mod at a time. This will verify that the problem is in fact a mod, not something more central.

    If you do need to buy the game again, I suggest that you order it through gog.com. You can then download the installation files as often as you need to, and the game is DRM free.

    If/when you do re-install it, I can recommend following the advice on these pages: Clean Backup and Multiple Installations. They will allow you to play around with different mod set-ups and also allow you to get back to a completely clean installation without having to re-install the game completely. As a side-note: ONLY ever install mods in a folder that wasn't the original installation folder. I made the mistake of mega-modding entirely in the original folder, and then accidentally managed to install the patch over the top (it always seeks the original folder)--screwed up all my 10 hours'-worth of modding. Of course if you take the GOG version (which in my opinion everybody should do) then you won't need any patches.
