well warcraft 2 works on xp, only three problems. when you move the mouse to scroll around the map it moves really fast. i set scroll to the lowest and it still moves fast.
also sound is choppy, my sound card drivers are up to date.
i get no music sound :(
warcraft 2 has some pretty good sounds i think. i'll try some things maybe i can get the music to work .
but so far its only these three problems i experience running warcraft 2 on xp pro

I love it when you keep clicking on a person or boat in the game. They start either get PO'ed or say something stupid. I may have to dig up my copy to play now.
I know Resident Evil 3 doesn't work with WinXP. It gets past the fmv's and then freezes.

I had need for speed hot 3 running fine on my cusl2 with the integrated graphics. it stopped working when I upgraded to my geforce 256. it's a tough sacrifice :( , but halflife does run a lot better so it's worth it. ;)
I tried NHL 2000, it doesnt work and no help out there from EA either(yes Im aware its an old game) Guess Im off to get 2002 now. Of course the one with Super Mario on the cover, they can keep Scott Stevens :D :D
The only game that I can think of that I haven't been able to get working in WinXP yet is TIE Fighter (X-Wing collectors W95 version). Depending on what compatability mode I try running it in, it errors entering the game either wanting me to install DirectX or it doesn't recognize my Sidewinder3dPro joystick.
I haven't messed with many DOS games yet though with XP. FIgured when I have the room to set up a second computer, I'd install them on it as I think my P4-1.7GHz would be a bit speedy for them :D

My brother got his copy for ~15 bucks at Media Play.
As far as sound goes, I thought the music came off the audio CD? If you are using midi and have a Live! card or the likes, try setting the midi and warcraft's setup to General MIDI or roland (I think).
As far as choppy sound goes, I don't think there is much that can be done, might be the sound card, I have many of those issues with my Live! Value card.
To get FM synth, or to correct some DOS programs, might I suggest <a href="http://ntvdm.cjb.net/" target="_blank">VDMSound</a> It might help.
have had no issues with games, i have run homeworld, need for speed porch, starcraft, total anhilation, mech warrior 4 and age of empiers without any problem
I can't install Fleet Command under XP Pro. It brings up "Not a valid Win32 application" after double clicking setup.
However I run these with no problems
