  There is a program  called Mo Slo that slows down your computer speed so you
can run it on a pentium.  It might work on the sound too but I'm not sure.  Run a
search for it and you should find it.

There are several ways you can get around this.

1. Go and get the upgrade patch from Microprose's website. (It does replace some sfx tho. Not very nice). It will remove the code
requests.  
2. Get the latest XCOMUTIL and use it to patch the difficulty bug as well as remove the code requests. (It doesn't tamper with the
sfx)
