I have a problem with my Fallout games:
My Fallout 1 (I have the UK version) used to run well. It's been some time since I last runned it, and my computed had some problems. Some time ago, I tried to run it, and then here's what happens:
At first, everything is okay - the intro things, which I skip by habit. Then, after skipping all of the intro stuff except the last one, the last one begins (Brian Fargo presents etc.) - and after I skip it (waiting it is not working), the last thing that was on the screen remains, but with messed up color. And when I use hotkeys to load my game or start a new one, that screen fades to black and reappears, every time I open a menu. I get out by Alt+F4/Esc. So, basically, my game is not working.
I reinstalled it, along with the 1.3.4 patch I used before this (I think this thread belongs here, anyway) - the same thing happens. Never reinstalled it again. Restart is not helping.
My Fallout 2 was OK, too. It had Last Hope mod on it. Until today (I uninstalled it), it used to blackout when I start it - Alt+F4 helps me quit. Today I uninstalled it and tried to install it again, but every time I launch the install setup, my whole screen goes blue - same happens with Fallout 1 installation, but for it, there was some other option (that doesn't requires going to full screen) I used. Now, I can't even install it.
I haven't played Fallout Tactics from like an year or two. Now, when I launch it, after I select "play fallout tactics" it simply blacks out - and when I use alt+tab, there is an "Error!" window with the Vault Boy on it, stating "C:\dev\phoenix\display\directx7\dd7_display.ccp(715): **fatal error**: Coult not create primary and back surfaces" - and after I click OK, a new window appears - "Runtime Error!
Program: D:\Games\Fallout Tactics\BOS.exe
abnormal program termination"
and all the Fallout windows disappear. I recently installed the latest DirectX, and this didn't fixed anything. All my other installed games (Heroes 3 WoG, Brood War and Plants vs. Zombies) are running. Any advices on fixing the fallouts?
