To fix this, in the Scenario editor, chose edit Scenario Conditions.
Then create two conditions. For condition number 0, have it be a Time condition. Have it activate at time 1 and cause an Alter event which alters Condition True Yet. The Condition True Yet should have 1 filled in in both fields.
Then go back to the Condition Editor. Chose the second condition. From the Flags pop-up menu check off Initially Inactive. Then set it to be a No Ships Left Condition. Have it be for if player number 1 has no ships left. Then set its Sequence to be Declare Winner. Have it declare a win for player 0. Then have it go to level 2. This also fixes your second problem.

Make sure that it the "flags" popup menu of the No Ships Left condition "Initially Inactive" has a check next to it. That will make it so that the No Ships Left condition is inactive. If it is active at the beginning of the level, then it causes your problem.

The other condition should be a "time" condition which will activate the No Ships Left condition after the level starts.(at time 1)

------------------

and that time condition should be before the "no ships left condition" right?

------------------

and even when i do check the initially inactive button it still wins the scenario for me, is there any other way of winning the scenario without haveing to destroy all the ships?

There are plenty of other ways to win the scenario. For instance, if
you capture an enemy planet or destroy a certain enemy ship/station. However, that would probably require a reworking of the level. If you send the level to me at my email: (dead) then I can fix it.
