I do all my modding with Magic Launcher (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/939149-launcher-magic-launcher-100-mods-options-news/). I have came across a couple of problems when trying to get Forge to work with the other mods but it works fine with ModLoader.
With all of my mods turned on I get this:
With Forge
With ModLoader
Now there is no core mods running for the core mods folder, but i realized that I have some mods conflicting with Forge so this is what happens if I turn them off.
With some on and some off I get:
With Forge
With ModLoader
Well there it all is I hope that you'll be able to figure out how to fix everything so I can use NEI. Also I have macro mod running as well but it is launched form lite loader found here (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/467504-142-macro-keybind-mod-095-and-liteloader-for-142/)
