Click on run under the start button & type in "dxdiag". This will run a diagnostic for direct x on your pc. Maybe it is a directx problem. My old pc with 8mb of video ram could just handle the game.
Directx 9 is downloadable from the internet & I have used it on W&W with no ill effects.
W&W is not compatable with xp but there is a fix in the tech thread that works well. It involves using a small program called virtualdub. You wont encounter this problem until you start playing the game.
Good Luck.
