The first time i run the game after installing from scratch it works fine but when i run it for a second time i can't load any save games (error loading) and when i start a new game the mods have gone. Any ideas?

Apologies for not giving all the info, your assumptions are correct, do i need to change permissions are just run the game as admin?

Normally, it shouldn't be a problem, since as I recall a few of the people here are using about 4 installs, for their various mods. On the other hand, I am not sure what changes gog has done to their saved games location.
Normally, JA2 tries to use the SavedGames folder to store the saves. If this location is in the "Program Files" directory and the game is not run as administrator, the saved games will be moved to "C:\Users\JMich\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Jagged Alliance 2 Gold\SavedGames" assuming the game is installed at "Program Files\Jagged Alliance 2".
I think gog does change the savedgame folder, but since I haven't got JA2 by gog installed, I cannot check it. For "Europe 1400: The Guild" though, there is a registry key that controls the saved games location.
So, technical stuff
Open regedit (Start->Run->regedit)
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GOG.com\GOGJAGGEDALLIANCE2 (or equivalent) for 64-bit windows or
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GOG.com\GOGJAGGEDALLIANCE2 (or equivalent) for 32-bit windows.
There will probably be a key called SAVEGAMEFOLDER on the right panel.
Now, I am not sure if deleting this key will solve your problems (aka make the game use the default path), but my guess is that the gog version is using the same folder for all installations of JA2. My suggestion would be to make a copy of the registry keys, and delete the "SAVEGAMEFOLDER" key, and see if that fixes your problem.
Hope this helps.

The gog.com version works fine, even with multiple copies in the gog.com folder.
All my savegames are wherever vfs_config tells them to be.
Did ja2 attempt to update your savefile befor you got the "error loading"

if you are using your desktop icon to launch the game, and you are using the GOG version of jagged alliance, AND you have multiple copies installed at once, you will have crazy problems. Every time you install ja2 with gog you have to manually make yourself a shortcut or for some crazy reason the the computer get confused as what directory its supposed to launch from and save too. Maybe this is part of your problem.
