Issues fixed

Running the game on 64 bit Windows

Although the game installer is 16-bit, the actual game is 32-bit. There are two ways of running the game:

#1: Run the game directly from the disk

Instructions

#2: Manually install the game

This also allows the game to no longer require a CD to use
