I just got Wing Commander IV, the double-sided DVD edition. I am a Windows XP user. So far I can play the missions by using Windows 95 compatibility mode. Unfortunately, I cannot play the movies.

I use DirectX 9, and I have a S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR adapter. I've gathered from other posts that this was an edition intended to work only with a specific graphic adapter from Creative Labs.

Can anyone help me with this to work, or is it a lost case?
