I had a 'missing files' problem when I first tried to install Fallout 2 from the White Label DVD version distributed by GSP which has F/O, F/O2 and F/OT all on the same disc. I could play both F/O and Tactics but not F/O2 'missing video files'...Anyway, I emailed their tech support and was told to unistall the game, then physically remove all F/O2 files from my computer, then do the option for the HUMUNGUOUS install for F/O2 and voila it worked. If you're doing it from cd's don't know if you'll have the same options. But if passionate (as you say) and will to part with a very few coins; I got the dvd with all three games, for £3.29 plus p&p.
