Hey Everyone,

At the risk of being considered lame, is there a research guide or some such thing for X-COM2? I've had too many problems researching things and it getting messed up

Also.....does anyone out there have the cheat that gives you 50 000 000 dollars?

There is full research tree, hints, tips and cheats at
xcomufo.com

Game on,

Does anyone now how to use the editor from xcomufo.com? I'm using windows xp with dosbox.

does anyone have tried this game on winxp pro SP2?
coz the zip file i downloaded fr this site only has the below exe files:

1. Install.exe
2. MPScopy.ex

there's no terror form the deep.exe
also, the install.exe doesnt work, nor i tried to install from within the zipped file, nor i tried clicking the Install button on winzip. all doesn't work.

it says:
16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
c:\...\installexe
c:\windows\systems32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

i've also tried DOSbox to run install.exe but doesn't work too. i'm familiar with dosbox hav used it to run other games.

any suggestions?
thanks,

[tuapuk]

Zombie, don't bother installing it - Extract it to a folder of your choosing and just use the Terror From the Deep .exe file!

that's the problem.. the zip file i downloaded from this site doesn't have this file "Terror From the Deep .exe"

in fact, the only files in the zipped file downloaded are:

Install.dat
Install.exe
Install.gif
MPScopy.exe
MPSLABS.IDX
PKUNZJR.COM
README.txt
TFTD.001


total 8 files.. don't have terror from the deep.exe
any clues?

thanks,

c:\windows\systems32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

"Problem with Autoexec.nt" thread in Troubleshooting section...

You need to install the game to play it if you only have the files mentioned in your last post.

thanks pal.. hav located the autoexec.nt file and made a copy in the system32 folder.

the game installed and able to run.

somehow every DOS game on this site doesnt work on my computer. I have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and for some reason I had Windows 98 and the DOS games worked. Can someone find a solution to how I will get my computer to play DOS games again?

Run them through Dosbox. You can find Dosbox and its tutorial here:

Solution 1: Install DOS

Solution 2: Install a DOS based Windows (95/98/ME)

Solution 3: Get a DOS emulator, such as DOSBox....

Install double-boot XP and 98 so that whenever you need real DOS to run old games you are ready. Note: you have to install 98 first.
