Not your average black screen problem

Ok, here's my problem. I have 2 nvidia 8800GT's in SLi. I am a huge target for the lovely black screen problem. So I downloaded the Black Screen Fix. It works, but it conflicts.

 

I also have fearsome magicka, which I love, but it requires the mod Screen Effects. When I have Screen Effects enabled, the Black Screen Fix does nothing for me no matter where it is in the load order. Everything is perfect for that first second, until Screen Effects kicks in, and suddenly I get the black screen of death (actually it's more gray for me). But if I disable Screen Effects, everything is hunky dorey.

 

I'm guessing they conflict. The Black Screen Fix works as follows, and I quote straight from the author:

 

What this mod does is set the Fog Near to 0.0001 (doesn't make is look any different at all) in any interior cell that has 0 for Near, Far and Clip Dist which prevents this bug from occurring.

 

 

I'm guessing that Screen Effects messes with the Fog Near setting, which makes this mod not work. I'm also guessing that Screen Effects gets priority due to it's involvement with OBSE, which is why the fix wont work no matter where it is in the load order. I don't know if I'm right in this, like I said I'm guessing.

 

For sure though they're conflicting. Like I said the fix works perfect when Screen Effects is disabled. So my question is, is there a compatibility patch out there? Or can I go into Screen Effects and mess with its Fog Near setting without harming anything? If anyone knows I'd appreciate the help because I miss Fearsome Magicka.
