Did you install Open AL from www.openal.org ?  (The Installer for Windows, SDK is not necessary.)

FreeSpace Open has much better graphics, and support for the newer campaigns that require it.

Those programs you mentioned are used for creating your own missions / campaigns or modding others'.

Modding is modifying (making modifications to) a game; either to upgrade it (make it better), or to change it (use the engine for something different besides the way it normally is.)

For example, the BattleStar Galactica: Beyond the Red Line demo mod takes the FS2 Open engine and uses it for a BSG game... same with Wing Commander Saga, The Babylon Project, and others.

There are mods for Halo that introduce new vehicles, or make existing ones able to be controlled by the player.  (Most use Halo: Custom Edition, see my siggy.)

OK, as far as a webpage or manual, I'll give you two:

Yep. There are ways to save a mission created in FRED2_Open in a way that Retail can use them but that only works if you haven't used any of the FS2_Open features. If you're not familiar with retail it's probably more hassle to check if you've done this than to simply make the mission in Retail FRED in the first place.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

Because there's also a FS2_open where it does work :) Trying to run FSO missions in FS2 is just as bad as trying to run FS2 missions in FS1. Or as bad as trying to run a windows program in DOS, for that matter. Different generations. Fred2_open goes with FS2_open, FRED2 goes with FS2, and FRED goes with FS1.

I'm glad you got it working, though. I remember when I got FSO working for the first time. With a good computer. :)
