Re: OT: DOS games under XP?
X-com has a windows Version available, and with a few tweaks that Version will run in XP. You just need to disable DirectX.
Find that Version, then start->run->type dixdiag->Display tab->disable DirectDraw acceleration.
When you're done, change it back. You don't have to reboot, and don't worry about downloading the windows Version; its easy enough to find and if you already have the DOS Version you're on good ground..even ignoring the fact that it was sent out in magazine CDs for free years ago.
