I had this problem too. Get a fresh copy of the whole set and you should
be fine. I got a working copy of Duke from ftp.ulowell.edu. I thought
for the longest tim that it was my using an XT.  The later Apogee games
have a command line switch to prevent this problem.

I maxed out at about 4.5 million once. But then I was going for every
possible point too. :)
