Sorry that it's not working right!
The problem is I can't remove the optional bits because my mod relies on some new strings from CRes.dll! You can however give it a try, you can download Winrez Studios and extract the modernizer.rez file yourself, delete the cres.dll and rebuild it.

Good luck! I can't really help you further, because I'm not sure what's causing the issue here. :(
