Well, for some reason I got the hankering to pull the X-COM Collector's Edition CD out and pop it in...and, of course, it's not working. My problem is the graphics. The MicroProse logo (in red) is jumbled, and the game graphics are compressed and elongated (I'm sure someone will know WTF I'm talking about). I can see enough to click on the EXIT button to leave the program cleanly, but no way I can play. Is there a patch or adjustment out there?
