Xcom Appoc is friendly to win even XP. Change the sound config and the video options to minium. Maybe you already done that but i am not good as 5thH or EoF. They will come here in no time.

Xcom Apocalypse is one of those games I never managed to run on this computer. Strangely enough I seems to have roughly the same machine than you.

In the past, I ran Apocalypse on Win 98SE without problems.

If it runs choppy, try VDMSound.

Note - I never used the Launchpad for this game, just went into Command Line and used a batch file that immediately went to the F:\DOSGAMES directory and fired up DOSDRV. Somehow, that worked better.
