Everytime I try to install Fallout 2 my computer fails and excuses itself with "Error initalizing video mode" Any options the install directX button gives me are of no help.

And constructive thoughs or comments?..... Please.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't there a way to run the game in XP Compactible mode? I'd give that a shot...

Try running it in xp compat mode and run it as administrator, if you haven't already tried that. (right click on shortcut, click properties, then compatibility)

That is very bizzare. Even more so because I got it to install and run just fine under my Vista Ultimate 64bit system.
