I remember finding it with a link on this very board, but I can't seem to remember where exactly. Someone else might be able to give you more help on finding that link.

I am kind of late to the discussion here but maybe I can offer some info.

The blue icon .exe is the collector's edition game executable, which can only be run in a win32 or ntfs environment. Starting the game with this executable is quite often the cause of the garbled and blurry graphics. The yellow icon executable is f0dder's loader which correct the garbled graphics bug that is present in the collector's editions of both UFO and TFTD. But there are still a lot of bugs with the collector's edition.

If anyone else is having trouble with UFO crashing (no pun intended here) there is a good list of solutions here:
http://www.xcomufo.com/x1faq.html

The best solution these days seems to be using the dos version of the game with dosbox, but as you can see in the above link, there are several patched collector's edition .exe's that not only fix the graphics bug, but a host of other bugs, including correcting the game speed on all newer computers.

Hope it helps somebody.

It is on that site that I have found how to make Apocalypse work on XP without DOSBox.

I never noticed there was also some help on Xcom 1 and 2 too, probably because I never ran into a problem when running those games. I am pretty sure that site is of a very high quality and can be trusted.
