I can't quite make out the screenshot you posted, but if it's the same errors
that are listed in this thread:

scroll down until you see my file attachment, download it, unzip the altered
header files into your current source directory over writing the current files
(back them up first if you want), and try to re-compile...

In the header file you downloaded there should be 3 files, 2 are header files,
the other is cli2nop, run cli2nop on your compiled sw.exe (cli2nop -p sw.exe)
it should respond something like '47 occurrances', that should help some, also
download and install vdms, once installed high-light sw.exe (don't run it),
right-click, select 'run with vdms' go with defaults on everything, save and run,
it should run normally (or close to it) please note that if you want background
music you will need to have the sw cd in your cd drive, you also need to
select your 'sw.vdms' file that was generated earlier and go to 'properties' and
select 'cd emulation' and save.
You can get vdms here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=20091
Hope this gets you going!
:D

awesome! i has soundblaster set after i compiled it and that was slowing it down. I put it to no sound and ran at a normal pace. I will now do what you suggest, thanks. and go download my 3drealms themed map I just posted a thread too :D
