the clock in X-com TFTD blazes by even after using a program to slow my speed, the program will load slow but the clock still doesn't work right, how can i get it to work at the normal speed. thanks!
SPEEDSET.
Yes, it’s my fault.

As everyone seems to keep forgetting, Speedset doesn't work with Protected-Mode games. X-COM is both speed-sensitive and uses protected mode.
Fortunately a Windows port was created, UNfortunately its STILL speed-sensitive (just not as bad as the DOS version) and it has problems with DirectX.
Not a whole lot can be done right now. Hopefully DosBox will arrive with protected-mode support in the future...
if you own a copy of x-com tftd, download the gold version which runs under windows. get the patch attached, and download the program "turbo" (i'll attach it in another post if you can't find it). turbo fixes speed problems within windows. There! X-com running perfectly!

We know about it, thanks.
...and download the program "turbo".

*jinx*
Never say something will run perfectly, it's the kiss of death.
Even using slowdown tools (which I hate), there is the nasty "drop-to-desktop" bug:

This apparently has always been in the game, but it seems to be much more frequent in the Windows version. It's a question of how much you are willing to tolerate to play the game.
i know you guys know (that's how i originally found out about it 😀 ) but i just didn't have the heart to say "use the search function".

Mr. Smarty-pants.
I hate to say it, but where can I D/L the gold version, and the turbo thing?
There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

No wares requests or links please.
and the turbo thing?
As said before, Speedset doesn't work with it.

Ooops. Didn't know that was warez...

I was not sure, that's why I didn't immediately obfuscate your post with profuse 'I'm sorry and I'll never do it again' messages. 😄
Yes, it’s my fault.
In fact, right now I'm waiting for "Half-Price Books" to drop the package price for the collection (still at $20). I know that's not a lot for three games but I already have a legit Win version of X-Com1 Gold (besides I'm still waiting for confirmation that the version of X-Com: Apocalypse has been converted to Windows format).
Looks like you have a similar machine to me. I use throttle with Xcom: Ufo Defence at maximum throttle and it works like a dream
