Hey I wanted to try out Fallout, and I downloaded the demo on google (forgot where). I have a vista and it doesn't work, can I do something about it or should i just hate vista?

1.) You should hate Vista in general.
2.) It's for DOS/Windows 95/98 so you should try installing it with the compatibility mode.

Probably I would combine those two options:
As the game is pretty old Dos/Win95, it's rather unlikely that Vista would be able to run it (at least untill someone finds a way to make it work).

Actually, Fallout has tested to run fine on Vista, so the demo should run too.
Just use the compatibility mode, it really should work fine.

Well, that's good to hear because I must at some point to move to Vista, and thus one of my favourite game should work on it

ok
I found out how to make it compatible(i hate this word now)
I played a bit but it didn't work well, the screen kept going black until i moved my mouse around enough... Should I try it on an XP instead of a vista? Or should I find an old arse computer from before 2000?

Go for XP. It works well on it.

XP should be enough, and it may also be that the problem you experienced had nothing to do with Vista. That problem occurs at times even with Fallout 2.
