Created the LEGO Loco guide, per Ringtail's request to keep them separate from the LEGO Loco page.
 
m Corrected the Troubleshooting message to include putting DDrawCompat into the Exe fiolder. Removed the bit about Adding DDrawCompat.ini file with custom parameters, as that seems to crash or mess with many players' games. Condensed "Game isn't launching" and "Graphical Glitches" into one section in Troubleshooting, because they are the exact same instructions.
