Question


Okay I am having a small problem and am looking for advice.
I read the 195 pages for about half an hour and finally gave up and decided I should just ask.
I would like to run the dos version of the game that I have downloaded from this website but I can not get anything to load.

I use dosbox portable that I have downloaded from PortableApps and I can get many other games to run without any problem however nothing will run with Xcom.

I can get the some of the files to load such as full.bat but then at the top of my dosbox window it switches from "GO" to "TACTICAL" to "GEOSCAPE" very quickly like multiple times per second and the window simply still remains black I can slow down dosbox to like 19 and watch it change almost every second

I read on the forum about using ufocd.bat but that didnt do anything at all

so I am looking for any advice on how to get this game to run because I really want it to be portable so I can just take it with me anywhere like to work or with me to school

also I have gotten the program to run with the regular version through windows xp but I dont know how to make it run in windowed mode which is what I need.

So anyway any help from anyone would be really great

Thanks
