Starting problem

[Wolfman]

I have just installed the game from CD, when I click on the link on the desktop, all I get is a black screen - I can get the game to run by getting into the individual files and clicking on the appropriate Icons but this is both fiddly and unreliable (I cant all ways remember the name of the file I need). I'm pretty sure that the screen is there as running my mouse over it produces the odd battle noise, I'd just like to see the screen in full so I can launch the game.
