Slaughter Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Okay, step by step: - Download the game from Fileplanet- Install it somewhere on your harddrive- Open the folder where you installed the game- Rename the file UFO.exe to UFO Defense.exe- Double click the ldr_XCOM1.exe file to start the game I think the patches are meant for the DOS version, so do not add any. If this does not work, I suggest you play around with your Hardware acceleration settings. - Right click your desktop- Choose Properties->Settings->Advanced- Go to the Troubleshoot tab, and test different settings on the Hardware acceleration slider Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeRUCE Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I've tried every setting for the hardware acceleration but I always get a blank screen "signal out of range" and can hear the music. Anyone know how I can fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantifier Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Try using different refresh rates. Go to display properties -> settings -> advanced -> monitor. It might work for you. For me it somewhat does. Somewhat, because then next problems appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleety Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Okay, a little help on this subject please. So far, I have... 1. Downloaded the Collectors Edition from FilePlanet.2. Installed it and changed the UFO.exe to UFO Defense.exe.3. Tried ldr_XCOM1 and received message Couldn't CreatProcess.4. Tried different settings on the hardware acceleration slider, but still get same message.5. Just to be sure, even played around with the Turbo programme. One of the posts above suggests that the Couldn't CreateProcess message should only crop up if you have mistyped UFO Defense.exe, but even I can't fail to have correctly typed 15 characters (including the space!). Any advice, anybody? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 My EXE is labeled "UFO Defense.EXE", and it works Ok. All the files are in the same folder? There are various versions of the loader. Extract the attached archive into your game folder, and try these ones.loaders.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to open a command window (Start->Run... and then type cmd), navigate to the UFO folder and type ldr_XCOM1 UFO Defense.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleety Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Bomb Bloke, Tried both the alternate loaders: xcom1fix - produced same couldn't createprocess messagexcloader - produced couldn't read process memory message Slaughter, Tried what you suggested through the command window, but still got same messsage. Starting to think I should be giving up on this one! Cheers anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 The process memory error means it found the EXE, but doesn't think it is the correct one. ldr_XCOM1 UFO Defense.exe won't work, by the way - It'll count "UFO" and "Defense.exe" as two seperate parameters. Try: ldr_XCOM1 "UFO Defense.exe" Or, try renaming the EXE file to just "ufo.exe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
