Eagle of Fire I just downloaded the dos version of which you have a link on the review on this site. Unziped it, fired up DOSBox 0.63 (it's the latest version I've installed on my computer) and I used UFOCD.BAT to start the game.

Worked flawlessly...

If you have more problems, I'd start looking for external reasons... Like graphic card issues, or something...

Robert Denby Still no luck.

gregor my xcom in dos wouldn't work unless i removed the read only attributes. so check the attributes.

Guest Indeed I did.

Eagle of Fire Did you try hitting a random key or clicking the mouse?

Guest This is what I have in the config file:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount C C:\DOS\CDrive
mount D K:\ -t cdrom (or any other letter of your CD drive)
C:
CLS


not sure if this is preventing the game from loading.

Robert Denby The same thing happens with 0.65. I installed the 1.0 to 1.2 update for x-com and now I receive a black screen and the comment "cannot open C:geodata/interwin.dat".

The Fifth Horseman Did you try running it with an earlier version of DOSBox?

Robert Denby I am using Dosbox 0.71. All of the sound card settings are the same as you suggested. No luck in getting the program to start. The program is installed to C:\MPS\UFO.

Mighty Midget Initial thought: It's a soundcard issue. The default for DOSBox is soundblaster 16, add=220, irq=7, dma=1, hma=5. If you cannot set the sound in the game setup/config, then change these settings in the DOSBox configuration file before restarting DOSBox. See if this helps.
