Good people please help!I have tried all that you suggested,and still no dice!I consider my self to know my way around computers but i'm brain frozen on this subject!I also found out what Fallout 3 installs with it,but i installed .NET 3.5 before the Fallout installation.I have tried all sorts of configuration on the level of graphics but still it wont budge.When the launcher starts and i press play the screen goes black (like it's trying to load something...) and that a typical error massage on desktop (send - don't send).I have patched it to 1.7.My configuration is AMD Athlon 2.61 Ghz,1 GB DDR 2, MSI MS-7309 1.0,ATI Radeon x 550 256MB,and running on winXP SP 3.I have the latest drivers for the display. (I know my config sucks,but it passes min req).THank you all in advance.
