Hopefully I think we will be able to help you with this problem. This error appears since W&W is not intended to run on Win XP. Here's what you do.
1) Right-click your W&W short cut and select preferences.
2) Click the compatibility tab in the preferences window.
3) Check the box "Run in compatibility mode" and select "Windows 95 layer".
Hopefully this will help.

If you don't have a compatibility tab in your preferences, but you should have it since it is turned on by default in XP, you need to run the following command: regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll. After that restart your computer, otherwise you will not hear any dialogues in the game.
