myskaal, Howdy
I apologize in advance... I'm as green as they come.
I was having the same sort of problem for two weeks. Mine hung up about two thirds of the way through. It wasn't the program.
I had been wrestling with two lots that caused either flashing red and black lot in the game or crash upon trying to load the lot. Persistence and a bit of sluething pays off here.
One lot I had downloaded some time ago for a new neighborhood had a set of files included that I removed, as I'd never heard of them (numenor wall windows bizzo, I believe). After that, I found the maker of the lot had found she'd included a non working phone behind a wall on a community lot (lot was Confession, pre Pets), so she re uploaded, and I re downloaded. That fixed that one, though taking the oddly named package out had done the trick to get the lot to load, at least, so I did find the problem with the phone once I got in. The other lot, also a community lot and pre Pets, was a nightclub with a go go cage mod included. I had found the lot (Alcatraz) at MTS2, originally, but when I checked this week it wasn't there. I found it later by doing a search, and this download had no go go cage included, and when re downloaded and reinstalled worked great.
Point here is that I had two similar problems, and with both cleared up, Paladin's hack conflict utility works just fine again. I agree with miros. With the trouble I had, it might be worth your while to check recently downloaded lots? Best of Luck to you.
