People have found success running WC3 in 2K/XP with VDMSound
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound/ , which emulates DOS
soundcards very well, which is the usual cause of problems for DOS
games running under NT/2K/XP. 

Or you could try DOSBox, http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ , which
emulates the DOS enviroment WC3 was designed for far better than
Windows own CMD emulator. However, last I checked WC3 was only
"runnable", and not "playable". That may have changed

Alternately, you can buy a copy of the Kilrathi Saga (if you can find
it; try EBay), which includes Wing Commanders I, II and III updated
for the Windows environment.

Myself, I keep around an old Win9x box for games like these; if they
don't run in Win95, I can still boot to plain-DOS (hey, the machine
even has an ISA soundcard, it's that old!)

Anyway, that's the order I'd try.
