Hey all,

I very recently purchased X-Com Collector's Edition cd-rom at Software Etc.,
only to find that the video is garbled.

I checked the Microprose site, only to find that it is now owned by Atari.
I found support info for X-COM UFO, but no patch for the video.  Maybe they
just haven't got round to the patch for XP yet.

Anyway, I got on dejanews and found a couple people talking about this same
problem, and some folks actually wrote little files to fix this stuff, but
they don't work for me.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I would appreciate any help you could offer.

Thanks,

Don in Utah
