Fallout Black Screen Freeze Problem

Eldrac

First time out of the vault
Hey all.

I've recently acquired Fallout after playing Fallout 2 and Tactics some time ago (yeah I know I played them in the wrong order) but I have one strange problem with the game.

When in Junktown when I rest in the hotel room (the crash house through the dialog option when you walk in the room) the screen goes black, I can hear the music still going but the screen is still black and I have to kill the process to get back to desktop.

I've searched all over and I couldn't find anything about the problem, probably because I am running it on XP, sorry if there is a solution I have over-looked, I've tried running it in compatibility mode and have decreased my hardware acceleration and are using the newest unofficial patch with no mods.

Thanks in advance

It's probably the background programs temporarily stealing focus. Try turning off all background programs when running Fallout.
