Did a fresh install and missing things

Hello,
Just did a newer, faster HDD and reinstalled SPWAW. It went fine, but I noticed the following things:

1) There is no video during the opening sequence. Also, between the battles in my campaign game, there are no vid clips.
2) There are no scenario's. There are some that start at number 39, but there are no training ones, nor, anything after 50.

Is this normal, or, should I kill what I have and do a fresh re-install?

This sounds about the most abnormal install I have ever heard of. Was it a mc cd install or a free internet version install?
thanks, John.

Came from the web...

Killed everything last nite, did a complete install from the MC CD, and with fresh updates from the web, it looks like it came through good.

Only thing I could not load from the cd was VID012.SMK. Had some sort of compression error.

Every scenario came through just fine.

Video plays now and even faster!

Had to cap down the scroll rate due to it moving by so fast. Even had to slow down the movement rate because the units were just zipping along...

Ah, the marvels of technology...
