Play the campaign? In my version, the campaigns are not yet availsble (blank). You didn't put the old GCII campaigns into the DA folders, did you? That might be a mistake if the asteriods and planet types (radiation, barren, water, etc) are map dependent (embedded in the map).

Sounds to me like your playing the original GalCiv2 with the example mod the devs put in when they made it 'modder freindly'. The campaign for DA is not in yet, and even if the mod worked with DA it shouldn't affect asteroid fields and such(if I recall correctly it only changed race names/descriptions/pictures).

Go to options uncheck the 'Use Mods' checkbox. Restart the game. Make sure your launching 'Galactic Civilizations II - Dark Avatar'.

If that doesn't work then you may have borked your installation as Chippoka suggested. I would try reinstalling the game at that point.
