I searched the hard drive for steel.prf and no file was found. I'll reinstall the darn thing again. In the meantime, any other suggestions?

There is NO steel.prf or sound.prf in the spwaw folder. And, I have a sound card, and I just installed directx 8.0a this evening. Any suggestions to get this game running?

Thank you for your prompt response.

I have a sound card. I can hear the intro movie and audio files from the menu. There is no sound.prf file in the save folder.

Now what do I try next?

SPWAW v 5.01 fails to load game past movie intro. I am running PIII, 733MHZ, 256MB machine with Win2K OS. Display refresh is 70mhz on a Rage 128 video card. Please advise to get game running. I downloaded the complete Internet game.
