Warcraft II - Tides of Darkness

I know its an old game, but a buddy of mine said it was fun, we played it on his computer just fine, but when i install it on mine, it starts a black screen with some words on top with something to do with dos/4GW Professional Protected Mode Run-Time Version 1.

This screen appears for like 2 seconds and then my monitor clicks and goes back to my desktop and the game never opens. I tried changing the properties of the game to have it run in 256 colors, and it still does this. It would be nice to get it working... Any advice?

I have a different problem. I started playing Warcraft II again on my laptop. The problem is whenever I "attack" the upper portion of the screen the game shuts off and returns to the main start up menu. Any ideas on how to stop this?
