Can't get "X-com: UFO defense" to work under Win2k

I have read the instructions on how to get X-com GOLD EDITION working, however, I only got the X-Com Classics, which include UFO Defense and TFTD. I have downloaded the QFixApp V1. 5 for Win2k but I can only fix the UF0 Defense.

I have read the instructions on how to get X-com GOLD EDITION working, however, I only got the "X-Com Classics", which include UFO Defense and TFTD. I have downloaded the QFixApp V1.5 for Win2k but I can only fix the "UF0 Defense.exe" file, not "UFO.exe", but I believe it shouldn't make a difference? I went to the "Fixes" tab and click on "ForceDdrawEmulation", then clicked on "ADVANCED" tab, but I don't see the "Create attributes file" as stated. The closest I can see was, "Create Fix Support", which I believe is incorrect. So instead I just ran the "UFO Defense.exe" of QfixApp.
 
The intro ran fine, however the SoundFX wasn't playing just music, then I went to create a new game. I create a new base from the Geoscape which was fine. I was able to build, research, purchase and equip my base. UFO interception was fine, but the game jerked when it loads up the combat window. THEN the ultimate killer comes, I get the transport to the Crash Site, clicked "OK" to start mission - The game crashes out back into Win2k... BAH!
 
Can someone PLEASE help me on this problem! Does this X-Com fix only works on the GOLD EDITION?!
 
Cheers.

Uh, X-Come?
I'm going on the assumption that's a typo.
 
Anyway, the one time I've tried Xcom1, I got it to work with music, but no sound effects. It's just not the same. I did that with the VMD sound emulator. I have the old collector's editon which had Xcom1 and 2 on two seperate cdroms. I just zipped them down, and put them on a single cdrom. Never could figure out how to get the .anm movie clips to play on xcom2, but it played with the slide show just fine.

Ahh, w00ps. :):
 
Yes, "X-COM Collector's Edition". My game ran fine, just no SoundFX in the intro only.
 
Can I e-mail someone that manages this site about the problems I am facing?
 
Cheers.
