Help running X-com on a new computer.

I want to play this again, but I remember putting it on my last computer and it wouldn't run. Now I am running a 3 ghz machine with XP Media Center.

So how do I make this classic work?

Go here http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs and download DOSBox. I haven't had a problem with any legacy games since I found this wonderful, wonderful piece of software.

I downloaded it, and played some great X-Com last night. Pretty slick application. It was slow at first, but I had plenty of power to make it faster.

Do you know of any way to make the window full size, or even larger?
