Welcome to the board, Kinkathra!!!
As mentioned, the Tech Tip thread has LOTS of helpful information which should solve your problems getting the game to run. IF the Tech thread doesn't quite cover it, there are wonderful regulars on this board who will make every effort to sort out the problem and get it solved! As Bungleau said, we've yet to find a problem that wasn't resolvable!
Hope you will be playing W&W soon and will keep us posted on how your game is going!
