Yesterday I decided to get one of my favourite games ever out. This is X-com: Terror from the Deep. It is an excellent game. I was very shocked that it worked in XP without any problems. Well that's what I thought until I came onto the battle part. Leaving the battlescreen causes it to crash as XP doesn't have the right files. Damn. What to do, umm Google I think. I got on to: http://commanderx.xcomufo.com/downloads/important.html which had some very interesting information on how to get this classic game to work. One of these ideas was DOS BOX, http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/, this is an excellent piece of software and once I realised that I had to mount my drives, using: mount c c:\ to mount the c drive and that I had to do the same for the cdrom drive it worked fine.
