Seems like you need to set it to different speeds for battlescape and geoscape though... I actually found an X-Com page that offered two .dll files for UFO and TFTD. You'd double-click the .dll, which would then open a box in which you could choose which program you wanted to run (in this case UFO) and it worked fine, no graphics hassle, no speed problems. Problem is, I just tried out XCOMUtil and it seems to have wiped the .dll off my computer, and now I can't find the page where I downloaded it from :-( Only X-Com could drive tme to such heights of distraction to find a stupid poxy file like this. I know the two files were called xcom1.dll and xcom2.dll... Does anyone know where I might be able to find them to download again? Thanks, again, in advance...
