Fallout 2 wont run on XP SP2. Any ideas?
« on: December 14, 2006, 10:06:41 AM »
The funny thing is....it ran on this exact same machine before i had the HDD replaced.

The first problem is, when i try to run the installer, i get nothing but a blue screen. Not the BSOD, just a blue screen, no text, etc and i can alt-tab out and close the non-functioning setup.exe with task manager.

I did a manual install, but after that i cant get to the main menue.....the colors are all screwed up, it wont even display, if i take a screenshot with print screen all it shows is a black screen.

Ive tried fiddling with display drivers, disabling the display device completely, turning off hardware acceleration, compability settings(do these even DO anything?) and it still wont work. I have no clue whats causing the problem. Any ideas why?

I am running the latest omega drivers for radeon 9000 btw.
