I understand that if I own a Amiga I can use this emulator to play the games I have on my computer. But Iæm totaly new at this And I can't get the damn thing to work. I keep getting a message that the KS Rom is missin, and I have no idea how to get it. I tried searching on the net, but I have to buy it or copy form my own machine.
Paying for something I already own seems silly. And the other option I don't know how to do.
would appreciate some help.

Google is your friend, if you be really good. The rules of these forum state I cant just tell you where to find the "KS roms", but they are out there.

From the PCGuru FAQ:
1. How can I copy the Kickstart ROM and Workbench disks from my PC to my Amiga?
Kickstart
The Kickstart is a ROM chip contains essential parts of the Operating System and an Amiga cannot boot without it.
A copy of the kickstart can be copied from your Amiga using the TransRom utility which is found in C:\Program Files\Winuae\Amiga Programs folder.
Kickstarts are supplied on the Amiga Forever CD in D:\Emulation\shared\ROM.
Getting a KickStart image using Transrom:
a) Copy TransRom from the Amiga Programs dir that came with Winuae, to a 720k formatted floppy.
b) Insert floppy disk into Amiga and copy Transrom into C: directory. (Assuming you have MSH or Crossdos to read PC disk else use a
serial network and transfer it)
c) Assuming you have enough disk space/ram, type Transrom >kick.rom in a Shell to create a 256K or 512k rom image called kick.rom.
d) Copy kick.rom image back to PC floppy disk (or use serial n/w) e.g Copy kick.rom to PC0:
e) Copy kick.rom image to Winuae directory from floppy on your PC!

If you don't have a real Amiga (so can't do the above kindly posted by Uncharted) then you can buy Amiga Forever, which was mentioned somewhere in one of the links posted by Amikit. This includes Workbench and and all of the Kickstart ROMs fully licensed.
[EDIT]
Or just buy an Amiga :-)
