i don't own this game, if nobody can help , try the support

http://www.gog.com/support/contact
(choose the top option)

asside that , in which directory did you installed the game ?

if it's in a system directory , my advice => uninstall the game , and intall in a specific directory ie c;\games\settlers 3

if this doesn't work contact the support.

Start here:
http://www.gog.com/forum/the_settlers_series/the_settler_3_wont_start_win_7

If none of this helps you can do a more thorough look in the Settlers forum. I think you'll find several people have had trouble running it for one reason or another and an answer is bound to be in there somewhere.

Good luck. :D

Have you contacted support? This time of year it make take a day or two to get a reply but they are REALLY good about fixing things here and if they can't do it, it usually can't be done.
It obviously can't find S3.exe. Check if it's in your Settlers 3 directory. If not, reinstall the game.
