No.

Why?

You did not tell us anything that would enable us to help you. At least you should tell us which version of Warzone 2100 you have downloaded. Additional information on the system specifications of your friend's PC is necessary, too.
So.. --> CPU (32bit/64bit), RAM, Graphics card (manufacturer + chip-set) + driver version, OS + version, WZ version

im having a problem too with the latest beta 4 version .. note beta version 2.1 or the previous version released i think in march worked just fine for me i am also using windows vista home premium 32 bit with the last service pack i got plenty of ram 4 gb question is now how to roll abck to the previous release or how to make this release work ..

p.s. i also have the original version on disc with the maximum resolution size of 800x600 but it doesnt look as nice as the current project

i can upload a "dump" file if i knew how for some reason the upload atatchment tab below the post isnt working never mind i figured it out
darn says im not allowed to attach a mdmp file any otehr ideas?

one more thing the opening screen opens where you get to choose what type of game and supposedly the version is supposed to be near the corner but nothing is showing no type no words nothing .. just a nice picture

What kind of hardware you got?
It is better to submit these kinds of reports on the bug tracker @ https://gna.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=warzone

Be as verbose as possible.
Include screenshots if you can. (hit printscreen key, and I think vista will save that to a file, if not, then you need to open up a image editor, and paste from clipboard. Then save it as a .jpg or whatever.

Are you talking about 2.1 beta 4?
I don't think any devs have vista 64 bit (or 32bit)...

What do you mean by hangs? Is the game locked up, or the system?
If the game is, then did you try hitting ESC? Also, might try window mode, to see if it makes a difference, and finally, you may want to do --debug all on the command line (or add that to the END of the shortcut), and we can see any errors or other info.
Just post your stdout.txt & stderr.txt files.
