Aw man, I found an old stash of Q2 CTF demos and then I googled for a viewer...found this and was stoked...til I got the error message.
Grrr. I should know what's wrong, but haven't played Quake in so long, I've forgotten all the cfg and folder issues which it had....

I noticed another person was having problems w/ running Q2 demo:
http://www.planetquake3.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60
Now, I no longer have Q2 "installed" on my PC. Just have historically saved/moved all the Q2 folders/files from hard drive to hard drive over the past few years.
He says Q3 demos work fine...my guess is he has Q3 installed today...maybe not Q2.
I wonder if the game needs to be loaded in order to run demos properly?
Q2 itself runs just fine off of the folders, w/ out installing the game on your PC.

Try putting the ctf maps into the maps folder of baseq2. Someone told me that that helps.

Good hint, not exactly right, but you got me looking in the right spot....somehow I had ended up w/ two baseq2 folders. Hehe!
