Welcome to the board, dragon2005!!!
Do look over the Tech Tip thread! W&W wasn't written to run with WinXP but solutions have been found to make it work AND these solutions shouldn't cost you anything at all.
I'm a bit confused by your reference to needing video files that are costly - what video files?
To assist our techies helping you - it might be a good idea (if the Tech Tip thread doesn't solve your problems) to include a thorough description of your computer, OS, hardware - video card, memory, version of DirectX - I'm sure there is a list in the Tech Tips thread telling you the sort of information needed.
