Hi there,
I'm luckier than most, I can get the game to run flawlessly w/o DosBox or cpukiller under XP, but if you need running help you should also check the HOTU forums on the topic, they've had a variety of problems.
My problem is different. Over the course of the game I've encountered various glitches, some quite severe, but I have randomly worked around most of them (getting a close distance kills stuck units, for example). However, I am truly stuck on Chapter 3, Level 8.
Very minor mission spoilers here, this is a seemingly very easy mission where you have to fight 4/5 enemies and deliver some trucks to a building. Usually in this game you deliver trucks to outside the map, but since they have to reach this building instead of a straight road they simply get stuck in it and the game doesn't recognise that they are in the right place.
Similar to the ships they start oddly vibrating and I can't complete the mission, even if I kill all of the enemy ships. If I destroy the trucks, oddly, I fail the mission but get a cutscene upon my return detailing my failure before being prompted to retry the mission.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm soooo close to the end!
EDIT: I've solved the problem, it turns out I wasn't doing anything wrong, the game is just confusing in its presentation and you must press esc in the cutscene. Now I am stuck with the same problem on mission 10, and the trick doesn't work!
