I have got this game working, at reasonable speed and with mouse icon's appearing, etc, by using the Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1. Now granted to use Virtual PC you need an OS disk, and I still had my Win98SE disk, so was able to install it into Virtual PC then install W&W onto the Virtual PC hard drive and away it went - albeit in 640x480.

Don't know how cheaply you can get a Win98SE OS disk, but I can see me needing this setup for other Win95/98 games...! Hope this helps!
