Ok, anyone who suffered the same Sectoid medic problem as me two posts above, just to let you know a solution as i managed to find one myself (but thanks to russ anyway):-

Discontinue the research as soon as possible by reducing scientists to 0 (this stops time ticking away and accidentally finishing it).

If you have a sectoid leader, research him first and THEN the medic. For some reason doing it this way round solved the hanging problem.

Also note that i had tried to research other tech before by cancelling the medic, researching something new and the resuming - but it still crashed.

MAYBE it has to be a leader or a commander (i got my leader from a base) and possibly even the same race - i dont know.

Either way - problem solved

Remember back-ups are the only known solution to the game failures.

This is true - but im my case restoring a back up made from days ago (nearly when i first started) - didnt help.

But it IS sound advice...

I didn't want to finish it...so I've captured about 700 Ufo's LOL
Nothing else to say...this game is the best

How do i play this game in fullscreen?
I have win XP, i run the windows version, but all i get is a small screen in the center of my monitor, and lots of black space filling up the rest.

Probobly change resolution thru your monitor while in game or just stretch the screen.

Well, resolution is fine.
Problem is only 30% in the center of the monitor is the game, the rest is black

1. Run it through the patched EXE ("bandage" icon).
2. Use Compatibility options to run it in 640x480 resolution.

I think this topic might be relevant to your problem, too.

There is no bandaged icon.

There should be two executables. Are there?

If not, here you can get the neccesary file (it's the one on the very beginning).
