Flashing/Switching Textures

[OpposingFarce]

I recently installed http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2553

 

It looks quite nice, or rather it would, if the texture wouldn't pop to something completely random every few seconds.

 

I have noticed it changes when I move in and outside, when different amount of light hits it, and when I zoom in.

All my settings are the highest, and textures are set to large.

 

I installed it using the FOMM and by manually placing the texture and mesh folders, so I don't think directroy issues are at fault.

 

It also does this for the Commonwealth of Modders mod. The submarine and plants switch textures alot.

 

Please help, I didn't find an answer in the FAQ (what would it be labeled as?)! Other topics only talk about textures not showing up, not that they switch randomly!

Thanks, but I read that there are files that mess up because of the archiver. Are there only certain items that I shouldn't use with it?

 

I think it was one of the Desert Eagle mods or something. That, or it was some vanilla weapons that didn't work.

 

I hope this works, thanks.

 

EDIT: Uh.. It can't detect my Fallout 3 folder. I know if you have vista you can't install it there (in program files), but I don't have vista, I have XP. I am also aware that in a recent update this problem was fixed. So whats up?

 

In the comments it seems others have the same problem. I don't think they got an answer.
