ACK!!! Wierd problems...

Until recently, I was unable to open up fear and loathing, as it would quit on startup, saying 'Fear/Loathing has unexpectedly quit'. I experimented with taking various files out of the myth folder, and finally succeded by removing the plugins folder.

However, now I have a really wierd bug. I can start up fear and loathing normally (and move around the map normally in loathing), and I can start up myth II as well. But when I try to play any map, whether single or multiplayer, it loads the map, then starts out 'frozen'. The application itself isn't frozen, as I can press escape, then quit to get out (which randomly takes me either out of myth entirely, or back to the main menu). But all the characters and the environment are frozen, I can't select the characters at all, and the status screen (which doesn't go away) shows my team as 'light', with 0:00 in body count. If I press escape, body count will start switching back and forth with planning time, but will stop switching if I close the menu. This time, the log says:

Error: Out of Memory in tag_files.c, line #3614: couldn't allocate #43039195 bytes to '¨à2sE$Ã5

Myth has plenty of memory (minimum 64000, preferred something like 78000), and has had those memory settings for a long time, so I'm not sure why it's saying that.

I've tried reinstalling myth entirely, but the installer claims both of my CD's are messed up at the same point in the installation (which I find a little difficult to believe), and thus that hasn't worked. I've tried erasing my local and plugins folders multiple times (both independantly and simultaneously), but to no avail.

My system specs:
OS 10.1.5
256 mem
500 x2 Mhz G4
OS 9.2

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
