Grr, Can someone help me?

[Guest]

Ok, I'm a hardcore Fallout 2 fan, borrowed it from a friend and couldn't stop playing it... I recently got fallout 1, installed it..started playing.. the problems are:
Everytime I attack something in the bottom left out screen thing it just gives me a " . ".
When Enemies attack me the game gets an illegal operation.
AND... I uninstalled, and in-stalled the game again, (different size this time) now when things attack me it just shows some weird gibberish in the bottom left-hand screen....
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FAST I'M GOING TO GO CRAZY IF I CAN'T PLAY FALLOUT 1 SOON

I Uninstalled the game (again) and installed it (again) but this time didn't put in the patch. (The fallout 1 patch you can dl from this site.) And now it appears to be working ok.. As far as damage showing up when I attack a critter and damage showing up when a critter attacks me...

So uhh, Am I just gonna have to play the game Patch-less or what? Anyone else had this problem?

Oh, one simple thing.. I don't know if this is a screw-up in my game or something that always happens.. In fallout 2 you can either punch or kick and hit the red-button thing to switch between the two, in my game (Fallout 1) it just says 'unarmed' no matter how many times you hit the red button, is that normal not to be able to choose?

Well I never heard of any of the problems you describe, but if the game works without the pach I'd play patchless. Fallout 1 isn't nearly as bugged as Fallout 2, so you shouldn't have any serious problems.
