SAMMY'S QUEST unzipped but not running

[sunshinegold]

 ???Has anybody gone thru the same frustration?

I have downloaded, unzipped and printed walkthrus but I cannot play the games.  

Either I don't get the exe. or as in Sammy's Quest, I get the first screen (title) but cannot move from there, just plain frozen.  I cannot even get out of it unless I reset my computer.

If anyone can tell me what to do, please help me. :'(
