I had fallout 1 working 3-4 months ago, won, and deleted it, and now I want to play again, and it keeps saying I need something like derctx 3.0a and it won't install it, so I tried to go around and I keep getting "unknown error code 11"

Shouldn't have deleted it in the first place.

Well what is done, is done...

I really do need help with this.

IIRC, Fallout will not install on WinNT, Win2K and above, using the installer on the CD, but its an easy matter to simply copy the files from the CD, manually update the config file, and run the game.

There might still be a tutorial for this on NMA.

Thanks so much, I got in installed yesterday, by jerry rigging it, but then the sound would crash it, so I had to delete again, but THIS WORKS THANKS!

Really? I installed Fallout 1 and 2 on my XP system with no problems. I've since uninstalled them since I no longer play them, but I never had any issues with installing.

XP is above 2k, isn't it?

from what I have read, it only bugs, when, you uninstall then try to re.

oh... well pewp. I guess I might have boned myself then.

Technically? Yeah... XP came next; But I wouldn't call it an improvement over Win2k in the least.
