Help Installing X-Com Apocalypse

[Raptor117]

I am trying to install the old X-Com Apocalypse game.  When I try to install the game it says I can't because "files/buffers" has to be at least "20/20" but it is detecting my system as having "40/0."  The game says I should modify the "files=X" and "buffer=X" lines in config.sys.  I tried do that (and rebooted), but I'm still encountering the same problem.  If someone could help I would greatly appreciate it.  I am running Windows XP Home Ver. 5.1.2600.

X-Com Apocalypse doesn't like Windows XP. But speaking of it, I was just playing it a couple of weeks ago on XP. The best way to get it running is to use DOSBox, a DOS emulator.
