Do your homework next time. That's what you get from the printable version:

1) It didn't save - turns out that the GAME_N folders were missing. Adding them manually has made that work.

This seems to be the solution to your saving problem.

3. One guy/gal mentioned about X-Com crashing after the tactical mission. Don't bother downloading the game again, it's your savegame that's corrupted. Load a savegame BEFORE this tactical mission.

If I remember correctly there are two files. 1 for dos and 1 for Windows. The Windows file is the Blue Icon. Try opening that one by double-clicking. It should work.

This could be due to programs running in the background. I would suggest you close such programs when playing the game.

Home of the Underdogs carries the fixed version of the game (and the sequel). It's a fanmade patch that makes UFO work on Windows ME, 2000, and XP. I tried it on my XP-ridden laptop and it worked fine. http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?gameid=4966
Keep in mind you'll have to run XCOM1FIX.EXE to apply the patch

When I tried to enter a battle the game would crash, and I would end up in desktop.
I solved the problem by turning on the compatibility option for windows 95/98!!

Well, I seem to remember a weird bug right now. If you entered a mission while one of your fighter was still chasing an UFO, the game would crash.
Answer to this bug was easy: never chase UFO when you are about to enter a mission. Either disengage and go back to base or just fly near them until you finish the mission.

Several different solutions to try out.
And finally, troubleshooting. Fifty or so threads on issues with this very game.

PS. The printable version cuts the posts after half of January of this year. Maybe one of the admins could look into fixing this?
