Lucky you just got a nag screen about compatibility problems, mine wouldn't even start up at all.
Seems I got this really rare variation of the problem with the CD version of the game. It seems like something to do with the CD recognition software/whatever you call it, because the Steam version runs perfectly fine no problem.
Sorry to hear about your problems, Stuff.
To clarify my comment before yours, it was about getting Siege Editor etc. onto my new system after I'd already got DS1 working, as per Death Marine's advice that the Elf quoted at the start. My DS1 is the LoA CD version, not Steam. The Steam user's solution for the Toolkit worked for me too, whatever the causes of our respective problems. The toolkit I'm talking about was my CD backup of a download from somewhere a few years ago, perhaps from Microsoft's DS1 page.
