Hi, I installed Fallout today, but had a few problems with it, mainly the screen going blank when trying to launch it. So I decided to look online to see if there were any patches/mods that would help me out.

I found Fallout Fixt, and installed 6.1. This worked well and I didn't have the above problem anymore. But I had forgotten about the Fixt 6.4 update. So I installed that and then tried to run the game again, and I got three error messages. I've attached these below.

Any suggestions? Right now I just feel like uninstalling everything and putting 6.1 back on. :/

Probably should mention that I'm running Windows XP SP3.

Strange to be getting those in Windows XP.
Do you have Compatibility enabled on Falloutw.exe? (Right click, properties, compatibility). If so, uncheck all of those.
Please also provide the full directory path of where Fallout was originally installed, and the full directory path you installed FIXT into, if different.
It wouldn't hurt to run the Directx installer just in case. I'll get a link for that.
I would extract (install, whatever) patch 6.4 again as well, just in case those messages can be taken at face value and the files were corrupted somehow.

I'd indeed uninstall everything (don't forget to delete the Fallout folder manually if it's still there).
Afterwards reinstall Fallout and apply the newest FIXT 6.4

The DirectX 9 Redistributable is here btw:

So it's fixed or...?

If yes, which step do you think fixed it? (if you don't know, that's OK)
Yes, Fallout Fixt is fixed. Sorry I didn't get back sooner, I was playing it all morning and some this afternoon too.

I just extracted 6.4 again like you suggested, Sduibek, and it worked. Thanks for the help, guys.
