To get this working sounds very time consuming, but it isnt. First of all you need 3 Utils. you need the Xcom Apoc No cd: http://www.xcomufo.com/x3cdfix.zip just extract this to your game dir. then you need VDMSOUND:http://ntvdm.cjb.net/ And one final thing: you need a little dos program called mousectl.com (use a search engine to find it) now that you have everything install vdmsound. and copy the mousectl.com to the game dir. now then. edit the xcom3.bat file to look like this: @echo off mousectl.com 7,10,12,15,20,22,25,30 fakecd .. /L:D >nul xcom3_cd.com DOSDRV xcomapoc.exe SKIP rem Uninstall process xcom3_cd.com fakecd /U >nul mode co80 cls The only 2 changes are mainly the DOSDRV Line added and the mousectl.com line. one more last thing, go into the properties of xcomapoc.exe, then go to compatibility and check compatible for windows 95, 256 colours, disable advanced text services and disable visual themes. Set the Soundcard to Soundblaster Pro 220 7 1
