LLZIP16 - Vista Troubles

P

First time out of the vault
Hey, I bought Fallout 2 yesterday. I installed it on my laptop with Vista, and though the HUMONGOUS installation went fine (though the red bar stopped about 2/3 of the way, not sure if it's a huge problem) when I click play I get this lovely message:

Application Error:
LLZIP16 caused a General Protection Fault in module FALLOUT2.EXE at 0001:2B7C
Choose close. LLZIP16 will close.

I’ve reinstalled it several times with the same result. I’ve looked on the forums, and there’s only one other post from several months back with no solution. No further success with a well-known search engine, except for a forum on TLJ, though it doesn’t really help. I have 2 questions: does anyone know what it means, and how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance.
 
I have Fallout installed on VISTA 64bit and It works, at least I can enter the game, start a new game, load a previous saved game, etc...

I also have the official and unofficial patches installed. They are available here on the NMA site, somewhere...

Also, have you tried to run it on compatibility mode with WinXP or Win98?
 
Is there a background process called LLZIP16? If so, you could try closing it before running Fallout.
 
I've tried the compatibility mode and it didn't work. Also I checked the background processes and there weren't any processes called LLZIP16. I have Vista 32 bit so I don't know if that causes any differences.
I'm trying a manual install now, but I can't copy master.dat because somehow the cd is scratched. My brother had no problem with his copy of the game so I'm going to copy his master.dat and transfer it onto my compy and see what happens from there.
Thanks for all your help so far, I appreciate it. It's been frustrating :evil:
 
Well, at least I've made some progress. Finished the manual installation. Now it can't seem to make up it's mind what the problem is. If I try to run the game through autorun (with the menu etc.) it tells me it couldn't find/load text fonts. If I try through fallout2.exe, it tells me to insert the disk though it's already in. Once it said there's wasn't enough space on the c drive. Since there's already a million threads on this forum for each of these I'm going to see what I can do now. Thanks for the help, at least (hopefully) I'm beyond LLIPZ16.
 
Well, since you say your CD is scratched and that your brother has one that worked fine for him.
Why not use his CD to install the game using a Humongous Installation?

Then if everything works fine, you wont need the CD to play the game...
 
SUCCESS! It works perfectly now. I had made a mistake in the fallout2.cfg file, once I changed that it worked.
Thanks all for the help :D
