Fallout 1 on XP x64

First time out of the vault
I've spent a good while looking for a solution, since I can't imagine I'm the first one to have this problem, but I can't find one. I'm trying to run Fallout 1 on Windows XP x64. When set to Windows 95 compatibility mode, the installer runs fine. But falloutw.exe, run in compatibility mode or not, patched to 1.2 or not, run with the sfall ddraw.dll or not (configed to use DX9 or not), simply goes to full screen, then crashes silently. When run in compatibility mode, I *sometimes* get the opening image for a second or two before it crashes.

Has anyone got it to work on XP x64?
 
I have it working on Vista 64bit and XP 64 by only running it out of compatability mode. IF i try and turn on compat it crashes.
