Custom Mission Problem

First time out of the vault
I'm having a strange error in regard to Custom Missions. All of the stock Microforte maps in Single or Multiplayer load to a black screen with an X for a cursor and the tab "Computer Turn" on in the bottom right. It never progresses beyond that, and I have to exit. The even stranger part is that I've downloaded some Custom Missions from NMA, and some of them do the exact same thing - "Turn Based Mod", and others work fine - "Army of Darkness" and "Thermopile". Any ideas what is wrong?
 
Tiles bag of the custom mission is not at the right path, or broken, or......you even don't have the mod tiles bag in the game path.

So when you launched these maps, tile can not be shown correctly
 
I tried reinstalling the game, but still didn't have any luck. Incidentally, I was wrong about all of the Microforte Custom Missions not working: all four of the Skirmish maps, the Scavenger Hunt map, the Plains of Carnage Capture the Flag Map, and the Lost Vault Assault map all will load maps, but there aren't any characters present so there's nothing to do in them.

I think you're right that it's a tile issue, since on Lost Vault, the whole screen is black except for the outer vault walls are displayed. What tiles am I missing, or where could I find them?
 
It's not a tile issue, Lost Vault is covered in black roof tiles, as it's underground, and without a character generated you aren't 'popping' the roof tiles to see beneath.

Skirmish, assault, scavenger and ctf are all multiplayer types not custom maps for singleplayer. Unless you start them through the multiplayer menu, online, with other players you won't see anything or have anything to do, or anyone to control. Turnbased mod is also multiplayer.
