I hadnt played fallout in a while, and when I start it now it crashes with this error. Fallout 2 plays just fine.

ATI Mobile Graphics 8mb
Fallout 1 USv1.1
 
You too must read the stickies. What have you tried already? Compatibility mode, re-installing, is the data corrupt?
 
The problem wasnt fallout because I already reinstalled it, but it turns out I have a corrupt cluster or two on my hard drive. I ran windows 2k skandisk and came up with nothing, but the one from Dos says that my disk was fucked. Tried formatting but still the same crap.


But I got around it by keeping that fallout there(so that nothing else can be copied to the bad places) and putting it again somewhere else(15gigs free on a low end laptop must be good for something)

but is there a utility or something to cover up the bad places?

It crashed like this when I opened a door in the Den. What causes these kinds of errors?
 
Random stuff.
What is it, a consistent error, or did it just happen once?
