Cannot Find File "samnmax.000"

Description
I am running the most current build of ScummVM on Windows 7 and trying to play Sam and Max Hit The Road. I have no experience with Scumm and only stumbled upon it when searching for Sam and Max. I used to own the game as a kid and have wanted to play it again for many years. Nostalgia aside, when I try to start the game I get an error screen that says "Cannot find file 'samnmax.000'". I am attaching a screen clipping of the background error message. I am not versed in any of this type of computing, thus I am very ignorant to what is happening or what I should do. I just want to play this game that I loved so much in my childhood. Thank you for any help!

The obvious question - to me, at least - would be, what files are in the folder you pointed ScummVM to when adding the game?

Did you follow the instructions from our Wiki <http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles> on how to copy the datafiles from your CDs?

Yes, I followed the instructions to a T, and the 3 necessary files are the ones that are in the drive I pointed the program to. the "samnmax.000" file that it says it can't find is plainly there. I even tried downloading 2 separate torrents of the files also and it still said it couldn't find them. I've done everything exactly according to all the instructions I've read and it still won't work. I have no clue what's wrong.

This is the error message from the background screen.
