hello!

i just installed vista x64 with all the updates out there (sp1) ...

when i install fallout 1, i get no warnings that vista doesn't support this game and the install goes fine

but when i try to run the game it quits a few seconds after the PLEASE STAND BY screen appears

i tried win95/win98,ME/winxp compatibility mode, running as admin (also tried installing as admin), i tried 640x480 mode 256 bit color mode, themes and other on or off nothing changes a thing

i installed it to 2 different locations - d:\fallout and e:\games\interplay\fallout - no difference whatsoever

iirc from earlier after that screen should come the intro movie and i think that's when it quits

all i've found on several forums that ppl are surprised it's running on their vista (x64/x86) :(

please help me get this jewel of RPGs running :(

ps: ah right .. i forgot to mention i've tried running the game without any patches, with the official path and with the two fan patches, still no difference
