Warcraft III “classic” (1.31.1) does not start (black screen)

I wanted to play some user-generated mods / campaigns that were developed for the “real” Warcraft III. So I downloaded the last “real classic version”, which worked fine under Win 7. #1 But instead of working fine, I got nothing more than a black screen. No picture, no sound, no mouse. Simply nothing. What I got instead were crash / error log files, which were created with every “false start”. Which I would upload here if I knew how to attach files to a post in this forum.
BTW: Reforged works fine.
