Hmm. I'm having some trouble running this. I'll detail my process in case I'm doing something wrong.

I unzipped the folder and left it as is (after realizing that installing it is a waste of time) then to play I double click on "terrorcd.bat" then I play and it runs fine until I get to a Terror mission (the first one of the game) and everytime it crashes after I end my first turn. What happens is thus:
I do my thing (i've tried doing nothing and it still crashes). Then the aliens that I can see move around and do their thing, then when it goes into the hidden movement phase, the HUD (the commands and all that) show up on the bottom, the splash screen is squished into the remaining space and then it goes black and pop! back to the XP desktop with this box:

If I choose ignore then the cursor is just sitting there and not doing anything and the screen is otherwise black. Nothing moves.

So I just close and try again. Anyone have a suggestion?
I've got it all loaded on a flash drive if that matters, but I searched the trouble shooting archives and found that 1 other person had a similar problem but no one addressed it. I'm not using DosBox.

:help:
