Hi, I've recently obtained the version of X-Com from the site and all the system specs seem to check out. I downloaded the Windows XP version but when I open up the file, the game plays but the menu and the entire game screen is just blurred, cut off and spread across my monitor so I cannot even understand what is on my screen or how to get out of it.

I haven't found any FAQ about this problem so was hoping that someone on here could help out.

Thanks.

You could download the DOS version and use DOSBox.

For some reason, the Dos version doesn't work. I get a funny message everytime I try loading it.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Let me guess. TFT screen?

Here. He means a flat monitor as opposed to old -but cheaper and still used-, bulky ones based on a cathode-ray tube.

No, I still use a normal monitor but its all distorted when I open it.

Oh, I got it to work in Windows! However, there is another problem.

Everytime I go on a mission, and I mean *every* time, I get this error.

And for some reason, my files would not save.

*sigh*

Properties -> compatibility modes. Set it up for Win95, 640x480 and 256 colors.

As for saving, manually create directories names GAME_1 through GAME_10. Will work then.
