The windows xp version runs way too fast... so i want to run it in dos box because i can adjust the speed. But when i go to install it , it says something like "cdsetup" type the drive that your cd rom is on " or something to that effect ... so i tried doing like dos box says and going " Z:\> Mount d c:/xcom" or whatever to make the directory the cd drive so that it would install it'self from the C: drive to the C:drive ... LOL if you follow what i mean...

basically it won't install and im not sure how to make it ... and the xp version runs way way to fast to be playable.

please help !!!

great site by the way ... kick a**

[_r.u.s.s.]

to make something cd drive type (for example)

mount d d:\ -t cdrom

or

mount e e:\ -t cdrom

or

mount e c:\xcom -t cdrom

ok did "mount d c:/xcom -t cdrom" which made the directory the cdrom

but it still gives me the same message when i run the install for the game

"To Setup UFO enemy unknown ,
change directory to and then enter
CDSETUP followed by your CD Rom drive letter
For example CDSETUP D:/ or CDSETUP E:/ "

thats exactly what it says ...

no typos .

So what should i do ... im totally confused by this , cause it should think
C:/xcom is the cd rom and install it to the c-drive

also note when i do the "CDSETUP and then D:/" it does nothing...
just drops down a line and gives me C:/

(shrugs) what should i do ? :help:

What exactly is the problem? Why do you need to do a "cdsetup" in the first place?

[W3REW0LF]

Ok if you go to X-com Ufo on this site you can download 2 versions...
the windows version that will run through xp and the dos version
The windows version runs way to fast to be playable. I mean like the game
speed is way too high.

So i want to run the dos version because i can control the speed through
DOSbox . When you download the dos version of xcom from this site. it is a
cdrom version of the game that needs to be installed to the hard-drive in dos.

So the problem is this ... I downloaded the game and extracted it to my hard drive
under C:/tempgame/xcom when i go to run install . It gives the message from my previous post. "cdsetup type cd drive " or whatever and crashes out of the install back
to a c:/> . so I tried to do the "make dos box think that C:/tempgame/xcom is
D:/tempgame/xcom by using the proper command as in above posts.
so that it would install itself as if from a cd... because as downloaded it is the exact files
as on the original cd. so i need it to install C:/tempgame/xcom to C:/xcom
once it's installed then i can run the exe and play the game.

But it won't friggin install ?! it just gives me the same message over and over and goes back to a C:/ promt .

thats the problem LOL. please help

if you still don't get what im sayin . Download the dos version and dosbox from this site and try and install it ... you will see what i mean.

I wasn't aware there was a link for the DOS version.

I just tryied it myself and there is absolutly no reason to want to install the game. It's already fully installed within the archive, just start up full.bat either with DOSBox or VDMSound (if VDMSound work).

[W3REW0LF]

interesting... it seems your right about that it's ready to play ...

but now a new problem has arisen

when i run full.bat it crashes dos box windowed and in full screen.

i also tried through windows just running the full.bat from an icon and it opens a dos window that says "not enough memory in exec"

LOL what the hell is going on,.. i can run xcom terror from the deep and xcom apocalypse , and xcom ufo for windows (except for the latter being too fast to play)

:not_ok: but not xcom ufo dos...

i dunno what to do please help

[W3REW0LF]

HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can run terror from the deep
and apocalypse just fine
but not XCOM 1 !!!!!!! HELP

Help me for the love of hell...

When i run "full.exe" either crashes dos-box or it just flashes like a graphic error
on the top and bottom of the dos box window repeadatly .

whats the deal ... i have tried this on 2 different computers ?

is there anyhting i can do ?

someone please troubleshoot me
