I just bought the shiny new FO pack, and have rewarded my subcontracted techie by putting it on his PC and giving him time to relax by playing it. But the presentation is this tiny window in the middle of his monitor. He has a laptop, if that makes any difference. Any suggestions on how to fix this? We've tried setting the screen prefs, and the prefs for the game in compatibility.

I'm pretty certain that's down to laptop monitor design, I actually play fallout in DOSBOX, perhaps that may, it's unlikely, but that would certainly fix it, just running it fast enough is unlikely.

Just a suggestion, but have you tried loading up Windows in safe mode. I did this once to force a monitor into a lower resolution for an old game, though I think that was WinMe.

Now that's sly! We will give it a try. I don't know if it will work in DOSBOX, because this is an adapted version specially for winxp.

Ahhhh I see, I couldn't get it to work under XP due to the old black screen of doom bug, fallout 2 works fine.

My original was able to work....I don't know if I needed to do any tweaking though.

 

I remember having to turn down sound acceleration to get the Ron Perlman narratives to work properly.

Um, I have the new White Label version, and the intro video is in a smaller screen too. The main game still takes fullscreen, though. Does the game work in fullscreen?

Is that the one where the screen goes black but you can clear it out by moving the mouse over it? I had that in Torment too. <_<
