I have the original version of this game,but I simply cannot get it running-no matter what I do,I just end with a blank screen and when I press any button,I get kicked out.I tried everything I could think of-reinstalling,running with WIN95 compatibility,running with no sound,in Dosbox,with VDMSound,but its still the same.
Any ideas what to do with this?

are you using a dual core/hyperthreading system? Have you tried setting processor affinity to a single core

(ctrlaltdel->right click on apoc.exe process->set affinity->uncheck one of the boxes)

Works with System Shock 2 at the least...but I'd bet dual cores force a lot of older programs to have a fit too.
