Just recently downloaded the game again... Anyone got any ideas why this game won't work? I'm running XP pro SP2. Both ufo defence.exe and ufo.exe files don't work. I just get a black screen then it crashes back to windows.(UFO defence Gold has encountered a error and must close blah blah blah blah)

I can't garantee this will work but it's worth a shot if you have not tried it already.

Right click on the ufo.exe and select properties.
Select the compatibilities tab.
Tick the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows 98/Windows Me. (you could also try Windows 95).
Also tick "Run in 256 colours" and "Run in 640x480 screen resolution"

Do the same for UFO Defence.exe

I'm running the game with SP1 so I can't give you much more help.
