i can't play Settlers 3 on Windows 7

[Vince9]

I used to play Settlers 3 on an old computer several years ago that ran on vista or some other old windows version. But now, i have a new computer that uses Windows 7, and i am trying to run Settlers 3, but during the installing process, a pop up appears saying there isn't enough memory on a "HD" to convert files.

the instalation appears to continue, and then finnish. i open the program and the start up menue appears.

it has 5 options: Start Game, Manual, Setup, News, Exit. when i select Start game, the loading icon appears for 1 second then disappears, and nothing happens. please help!!

I have created a video for this on youtube. As well as the settlers fourth edition(Which in my opinion is better) for anyone still reading this take a look.
