Has anyone had a problem getting into combat after running xcomutil? Every 
time i start a game using runxcomW file if i enter combat i get tossed out 
to windows with a dos window open and a flashing cursor in the corner. I can 
run the original files just fine, just not runxcomw. Please HELP!!!...lol 
any help would be appreciated.

This is a possible initialization problem.  If you installed XcomUtil
immediately after installing Xcom, before you ever entered combat for
the first time, some of the game directories may not have been
initialized.  Try running Xcom without RunXcomW, go into combat once,
then try it with RunXcomW.  If that doesn't work, contact me.
