I have a Dell 9100 laptop and I want to run XCOM GOld on it.  It does work 
with my desktop but I forgot what I had to do to get it to work.  What I get 
is a fractured screen.  I thought that I had to turn off DX but that didn't 
work.

Can anyone educate me here?

Thanks

Mike

Have you tried using f0dder's graphic patch, available coupled with
XComUtil and probably alone as well.
