Wow, no one responded yet.

Well. If you didn't install the Games in the same Folder, there should be no Problem just 'cause of that. I have 6 different Installations of the Game under my Programs-Folder - they only need different Names and it works fine.
Please go into your Warzone 2100-Folder, open up the File named stderr.txt and copy the Error-Messages into your Post right after the Game crashed. Don't start it again after it crashed, because the Error-File gets empty then. Reproduce the Problem and post the Error-Messages. Some Informations about your PC could be possibly helpful too.
Installation is simple - you just have to click on Next and choose a very unique and own Folder for the Game. That's all it needs.
Make sure, you are using the Release Candidate 2, especially for Multiplayer-Games, as they worked on the Internet Code. And make sure, that the Game has its own unique Startmenu-Entry - otherwise other Entries will get overwritten of course.

Playing is simple too. Just click on one of the Shortcuts under your Warzone2100-Startmenu-Entry. There are 4 Standard-Shortcuts. Try the first Standard one without a Mod and post the Errors please. The other 3 Shortcuts are Mods and i don't know, how the Campaign handles with them - never tried.

Well, technically it shouldn't matter (since original uses .wdg, and we don't), but a clean install is the better way to handle it.

If you still have (display) problems, then you can bet it is a gfx driver issue, OR you have crappy (integrated) hardware.

The FMVs are *not* available until either you get a build that supports FMVs, or you wait until 2.2 is released. They will not work with any warzone version from 2.0-2.1. (And if you do get a nightly build that does have the code enabled, then you need to download the 190MB FMVs , the original ones will NOT work.)
