I tried both with dosbox and win xp version, but no real success. In dos I got messed up graphics. In xp the game ok but too fast. I tried cpu killing, too, but no help. Also in XP the view is flattened: maybe my screen is too wide or something.

Generally speaking, if you have a modern pc with windows XP and a fast CPU, you should use the collectors edition which is availible for download from The Home Of The Underdogs. This is CPU limited so whatever speed your pc the game is playable, just turn down the movement/fire speeds in the options in-game. If you are getting messed up graphics with the collectors edition, there is a special .exe that is for windows 2000/xp only which should fix this. Don't try to run the collectors edition in DOS or with DOSbox. To get a smooth game in dos or windows 95 with the original, you need a pentium 75mhz or less. Not sure about DOSbox, but I would say keep increasing CPU cycles till you get a smooth game. Im guessing you would need a very fast PC to get UFO to run smooth in DOSbox as it's a DOS4GW game (probably about 3GHz+).
