Dear Fernando,
probably the problem arise from the fact that you simply erased the
previous version, without uninstalling it.
In Windows 95 the data about settings are no more saved in an .INI file,
but in the Windows 95 register file (called USER.DAT).
What WCShell tries to do is looking for a directory that (probably) no
longer exists. 
So, try to uninstall and reinstall WCShell. In this way things should
work.
If not, well, you have to manually edit registry entries for WCShell.
How?
Run REGEDIT.EXE, go to
HKEY_USERS/.Default/Software/VB and VBA Program Settings\wcshell\paths
and set the entries 'Exe', 'Orc', 'Path', 'Score' and 'Wave' to the
directory where you installed WCShell.
Happy Csounding,

Riccardo
