This product has a rating of 3 out of 5 running under Windows XP

Comments:
Initial install is problematic - the intro video will freeze immediately, but closing it using Task Manager will let the installation proceed. Installing the actual games (the three individual games) themselves is not a problem. The intro video can be viewed from the main startup window in the Previews section.

Wing Commander 1 works fine if the Secret Missions Pack is not installed (otherwise, the game will crash after the intro).

Wing Commander 2 also works fine, even with the Special Operations Pack.

Wing Commander 3 is a bit of an issue, while it works most of the time, it will occassionally freeze between scenes (eg between a selection screen and a FMV, or between a flight mission and and FMV), requiring a forced shutdown using Task Manager when it happens.
