Hi Skyler,
On the surface it looks like you installed some customizations to the game
which is causing this issue. If that is the case, uninstall them if there is no
information in the readme file that came with them, or on the website you
downloaded them from. If this is very recent, you might be able to restore:

Otherwise - Here's how to properly install or reinstall FS 2002:
Step A: Temporarily disable Startup programs one at a time, starting with
Firewall, Antivirus & AdBlockers using this method:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796 or this utility:
http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php Reboot, go to Step B.
Step B: In Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs, delete the game and then
the game's folder especially if you previously experienced problems
with a patch, or if you installed the Trial, Mods, NO CD patches, etc.
Note: Click Start to Search or Find your game. Many times there are two installs
of the same game on a system and the patch installs to the wrong one. Also if you
installed a Trial version of the game, this could be causing a conflict.. Uninstall it
and delete the folder.
Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them. Reboot your computer, and then re-install the game.

Step D: Play a single player game, using an administrators account if necessary.
Step E: Download new game patches or mods in case the old ones are corrupt.
Double click the patch/mod to install it. If it's a .zip file, unzip it into the
game's folder and follow the instruction in it's readme.txt file.
Step F: Reboot your computer, verify that your game is working properly, and
re-enable any programs that you disabled using the method in Step A.
Cheers,
