I tried searching for this subject but I kept getting an error, so first off I apologise if you have seen this question a hundred times.
I have been playing X-Com 1 very succesfully, I had a scrunched screen but downloaded a fix for it and TFTD.
I recentl had a computer rebuild (Windows 98se) after installing XP and not likeing it.
Now when I reloaded X-Com I have'nt got the fix anymore and have just spent hours looking for it but to no avail.
Does anyone have it, as I am back to the scrunched or squashed screen look again.
Thanks for any help.

i belive that would be:
http://f0dder.has.it
or alternately: http://f0dder.cjb.net

that or use version 9.30 of x-comutil: download page

hmm... f0dder's site seems to be... unavailable.

well, if you can find it then thats fine...
also if you use x-comutil instead that's fine (and it can be used to add some other cool stuff)

otherwise send me a pm (with your email address) and i'll wing you a copy via email

Thanks Alan for your help.
I could'nt get the first 2 links to load, i got timed out on the connection.
the third link I have downloaded and will try tonight (at work presently).
I seem to remember the other fix created an icon like a star or yellow flower (does that ring any bells).
Anyway, thanks again Alan

I found another site that seems to have the f0dder patch. You can try:

http://www.xcomufo.com

go to downloads
click x-com (and/or tftd)
and the first download should be the x-com loader bugfix.

Install the patch.
Then go to program files, microprose.
There should be a little sun icon called Xcom1lder (xcom loader). Right click and copy and shortcut to your desktop. When you want to play x-com, click on the sun icon instead of the usual x-com icon and it should be okay. I haven't tried xcomufo.com's bugfix, but I believe it may be the same one. Good luck.

Also, I wanted to say thanks to Alan. I wanted to check with him first and make sure I wasn't overstepping my bounds by posting a link to another x-com site. I know some sites offer illegal downloads, but since this one doesn't I thought it would be okay. Still, I wanted to check with Alan first to be sure it would be okay. Thanks again.
Crispy.
