Be more specific. OS, define "load," etc.

OS = win xp sp3
version 2.2.4.0

yes, i have read the faq, and help and I still cant get a
map to load up when i start a new game.

by load, i mean, you put the map.gz into the map folder, and
then run warzone2100.exe

typical install, and ive not changed anything
yet, no new map

No... that is wrong.

The maps *must* be in only ONE location, and that is your 2nd pic. (your config directory in /my documents/...)
However, it is *still* wrong. Do not place those extra *.addon.lev files with the .wz files! They do not belong there, and can cause issues with the game.
There is already the correct *.addon.lev file inside the .wz file. That is all the game wants.
The way you do it, it sees 2 files, and it loads everything up twice!

Hope that clears things up?
and it ends here.
