So I found a copy of the Fallout 1/2/Tactics collection at Walmart and decided to try it on my brand new Windows 7 laptop (this is my first experience with 7, I been using XP up until now so I'm still learning the ins and outs). Tactics seems to run fine but try as I might I can't seem to get 1 or 2 to work. The problem is that the game will start up and play the opening movie (with all the fun screwy rainbow colors) but nothing else. If I press any keys the movie will either restart or go to a solid green screen, it never gets past this to get to the game menu, the opening movies seem to freeze around the "War never changes" speech.
I've installed the TeamX 1.2 Patch, the TeamX 1.3.4 Patch and the High Resolution Patch but they don't seem to have had much of an impact. The only one with a noticeable effect is the High Resolution Patch, which results is a blank black screen, the movie sounds still play but without any graphics. I've tried various compatibility modes but attempting to run in Windows 95 or 98 mode shows a Direct X error telling me I need at least version 3 or later, according to system information I have version 11.
Not sure what to try next, aside from trying to run the whole thing through DOSBox, any help is appreciated, thanks!
