Did you try the search function?

I created a thread about technical problems with Fallout 1 couple of years ago, and that thread is still findable with search - function:

Here is the thread

Also, you could check similiar thread dedicated to Fallout 2, as some mehtods described there may solve problems in Fallout 1 as well.

So, basically you need to enable the compatibility mode. Here is how it's done:
  1. right click setup.exe
  2. Go to the tab called "Compatibility" (or similiar)
  3. check the box labeled as Compatibility mode (or similiar way, depending on the language of your system)
  4. Click ok, and run the setup

No problems

Oh, and Welcome to GameBanshee!

And just friendly hint, try search -function before posting in future. These forums contains tons of useful hints, and most questions probably are answered already. If you can't find answer with search, then you more than free to create new topic. It's just that the site owner doesn't want to have duplicated threads because. And searching first may save you several hours of waiting...
