Don't get discouraged.
Mame32 is a nice little program which is easy to use with a little knowledge.
When unzip/installing mame32 it creates a folder called "roms" within it's main folder (perhaps called mame32).
The romsets are all in zip format - so for 88 games you'll have a rom set called 88games.zip in the roms folder.  Each game has a zip file.
Installing roms is probably the wrong wording - you need to copy the rom files to the roms folder and that's it.
When in mame32 - on the left you should see a list of folders. 
Go to Available Games - this is a list of games mame32 sees on your system.
You should go and click File (top left corner) to open the menu - then click audit all games.
Go get a drink
This will update the list of available games that mame32 can "run" - use this term loosely as there are a number of games in mame that are unplayable in terms of speed of pc's as well as not quite emulated.
Try that and get back to us.

Also - I think you may need to tell MAME32 where your ROMS folder is, but I rarely use it, so not sure.

I did the Audit games feature and it did go through and then it showed all the games in the available list.
I am going to start over and try again. I will let you know what happens.
Thanks for the help.
I will keep you posted.
HOTR6:
Well what do you know! I took everything off the computer and stasrted over! It works now!
I can get the games to come up!

NOW I have a sound problem! It says I have no sound device. When I go to control panel and click on sound, speech, and audio devices. I have speakers hooked up.
My other CPU works just fine with them.
I am going to try and do some trouble shooting but I thought you would be interested in hearing that the games work now.
Thanks for your help and if you have any ideas about the sound let me know.
