X-Com Interceptor and XP

Spektre

My problem is this: the game itself will run, but whenever I try to go into battle, it crashes to the desktop. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Someone else posted about a problem with Interceptor a while back, but there were no replies, so I thought I might as well ask.
