i get a cd-rom disc failure when i try to run it
anyone know how to fix this

sounds like a bad install.

if you cannot uninstall with the uninstall option this will be absolute confirmation of this.

delete the activision folder ( or wereever you installed it)
use add / remove in the control panel to remove Wizards & Warriors from the registry.

set resolution to 640 by 480 high colour and switch of any TSR`s (icons in taskbar box on your right)

Now reinstall run and set your options. If all OK reset you computer to the resolution it normally runs in.
