Fallout 2 screen problem, installation and ingame

[Mr Fish]

Okay, so I have the Fallout Collection by White Label, GSP. (I think it's the UK version if that matters)
And when I try to install Fallout 2 the installation screen goes completely black and I can't see anything.
If I hit ESC then it closes, if I hit enter two times then it closes.

What is the problem and how can I fix this?

I heard that there were problems installing it to Windows 7, x86, which I have.

When I do install it, blindly, it goes to C:/Program/BlackIsle/Fallout2 like it's supposed to, when I doubleclick the Fallout 2.exe the classic rainbow pixel problem runs with the intro's, which I might also need help with further down the line.
But then the start screen goes like this: http://gabriel77cortez.deviantart.com/art/asd-294911758

Any idea on what I need to do to fix this, and prefferably the installation screen too?

Update.



I "think" I've installed the Humongous installation, but the problem were still there, so I got Killaps patch and then the resolution patch, now the intro's are black too and the starting screen is black instead of black and green.

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?
Sounds like a compatibility problem to me.

 

[Mr Fish]

Dat I have, I have tried every compatability mode, 2000, Vista, XP, 7, 95, 98, NT, with the service pack versions, none of them worked.

These are the two messages I got when it didn't even start:

"Fallout 2 seems to be running in compatability mode"

And

" This program requires Windows 95 with DirectX 3.0a or later or Windows NT version 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or greater."

As to the second one, I have Direct X11 or something and I most certainly already have the Service Packs.
So that message makes no sense to me.

Try installing Directx 9 if you haven't already for something else. Directx 10 and above isn't compatible with games using earlier versions, but installing DX9 will not interfere with DX11 if you're worried.
