Issues And Fixes
Crashes
The CD version of the game reports an error upon start-up if run on Windows NT, or any OS based on Windows NT, like 2000, XP, Vista, 7, etc. This can be fixed by running the installer in compatibility mode for Windows 95.
Graphical Tweaks
Support for higher resolutions/widecreen
Support for Widescreen and higher resolutions can be added with the High Resolution Patch, it is suggested you patch the game first, however.(See above)
Color fix for Steam/CD versions
The Steam version and the CD version are known for having strange colors on modern OS's. This can be fixed by killing explorer.exe before starting fallout, and applying all the relevant patches.
