Technical issues in Heroes IV.

Guys, what do you mean by "doesn't work"? I have this problem: when I launch the shortcut/application, a black screen appears, and nothing else happens. It used to work, and I think it even worked on Windows XP. "Whirlwinds of War" can't be removed from the list of programs, so it won't install, even if I go to the disk through the file explorer and click setup. It just keeps offering to uninstall it. And "The Gathering Storm" crashes to a black screen without any disk detection.
