I just discovered this wonderful site! Huzzah!
Anyway, I downloaded the Windows version of X-Com 1. Surprisingly, the sound works fine, but the image is smooshed and totally garbled. I suspect that the game is trying to run in 320x200 resolution and that my computer is not able to display that resolution. Compatability mode options did nothing to clear this up. I have an nVidia 7600GS video card running under Windows XP. Any suggestions? |

Did you run the patched EXE ("bandage" icon)?

Ah, thank you. That's must better! Only now the bottom third of the screen seems to be cut off.

Your description of the problem reminds me of something. Are you using an LCD monitor? I remember some people reporting such problems with this game and type of monitor.

Yes. I am using an LCD monitor, with a DVI connection.
Is it something to do with the refresh rate or something? |

Not sure what is the exact cause.
Anyway, try using a CRT monitor. |

Ah-ha! I've found it!
Sock this away for future reference: fiddling around with the "Flat Panel Scaling Options" in the nVidia control panel cleared it up.

320x200 or 320x240, not quite sure which one. (8:5 or 4:3 pixel ratio).
It's possible that your drivers had trouble handling that resolution. |

Where can I find Flat Panel Scaling Options?
