I managed to get it to work i two ways, but I'm a bit confused still. First off, I got it to work with the CE-version if I used max ET-patch, altough I didn't get his improved base-thingy to work, or change the resolution, but all the other functions seem to work. I was however, unsuccessful in getting it to work with xcomutil. So then I tried the Steam-version of UFO: Defense, and it worked too, this time without any patches needed to be installed. The game looks a bit weird when you play it, compared to the CE-version. It looks more... "soft around the edges", more "smeared out" and has slightly different sounds. I imagine the're using a CD-version of the game or something like it, you probably know better. However, when I looked in the XCOM-folder under Steam, it appears to have both the DOS-files and the CE-executables (if I remember correctly, the DOS-version had the UFOEXE and the UFOEXE2 folders, while the CE has the Ufo Defense.exe). If you unpack xcomutil to the game folder and run the setup (with DOSBox of course), it will first look for the DOS-files. So after completing the xcusetup I ran runxcomw.bat and it worked, only now the graphics and sounds were all familiar to me again, so it must be running the DOS-version I guess. And it was running with xcomutil-changes. So, while I'm not sure what's going on with the different versions, I did manage to get it to run in Vista, with xcomutil, but I'm not sure it's the CE-version

You know what happens sometimes when you're just surfing for one particular piece of information, and a couple of minutes later, you're caught somewhere completely different. This is basically how I got here. I was trying to look up some info on a game I was interested in, when I suddenly ran across IGN's "Top 25 PC Games of All Time"-list and found my ol' favourite game snatching the NO1 spot. I immediately had a flashback and a melancholic strole down memory lane and soon I was back as my character during the days of simming in NAARO, the simming division me and a friend created. I googled NAARO and came up with, besides the official but since long dead homepage, this place. It's fun to see that X-com simming is still going on, even though I definately don't wanna take any credit for it's creation (we just created a knew story but the ground work in simming was laid with predecessors such as OLS/TDF). I have no idea if any of you were active back then and whether you remember our sim, but if so, I hope those memories are fond, because mine sure are.
