If it's not installed the game won't run and it'll will complain that the file is missing. The file WING32.DLL needs to be installed in the Windows system directory. There's one other potential problem that you've seem to have managed to avoid. Once you've saved the file, double click on it in Explorer and after asking for confirmation, it should add the necessary settings to the registry. "Direct Connect Baud Rate"=dword:00000000 To do this start Notepad, paste the following into it, and save it as a file named heroes.reg: REGEDIT4 So you need to create these registry settings yourself. This why it starts up in a tiny window in the upper left, why there's no sound or music and why it won't remember these settings after you change them. However the big problem with how you installed the game (simply copying the files from the CD) is that the game's registry settings are missing. (This step might not actually be necessary, but older games expect to be able to write to the directory they're installed to.) Press OK again so that everything in the folder is made writable. In the property dialog uncheck the "Read-Only" check box and press the OK button.
You should open your C:\ folder in Explorer, right click on the HEROES folder and select properties. You might also not be able to save the game because when you copy files from a CD-ROM by copy and pasting them in Explorer they're marked as read-only because the CD-ROM is read-only. Unfortunately it won't remember these settings and it will likely crash on exit. The original version Heroes of Might and Magic used CD-Audio tracks, which probably didn't fit on your compilation CD. You can then start the game and enable sound and maybe music. That will change the game to full screen. A simple temporary fix is to press the F4 key.
