teklor Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I recently downloaded xcom 1 and 2, The first one runs until i click my mouse to place my first base then it closes out the program completely. With number 2 the screen is always going all flashy and glitchy and the sound is funny sounding too. The graphical error carries through even when i close the program I'm running windows XP with an old beast of a computer....386mhz i think but it should run it properly from what i can tell. Anyone have any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 This is the Fileplanet version? Did you see the thread on it in the X-COM news forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Let me guess. DOS version, correct? Normally, I have no problems running the CE version, but with the DOS version it dumps me to the desktop when trying to place your first base. And I have a completely legit copy of the game too. Could be compatibility problems under XP, but I'm not sure. I'll marry the first person who solves this problem (well, maybe not). - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 With a machine like that, I recommend you dual boot with Windows 98. If you had a more modern computer, I'd recommend DosBox, which is a Dos emulator, but it is quite hardware intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
