phoneyLogic Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Think it's worth trying to copy all the dvd files to your Harddisk. And then start the setup from there. The DVD may be clean, but there also could be a problem with the dvd drive itself ... good luck andwelcome to the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoneyLogic Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 So it is the dvd drive, have you tried another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfdude191 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 do you mean the hard drive or the actual disk tray? i have 2 disc trays but one is totally screwed up, and i only have one hard drive, but i have thought what if i install it on my external hard drive and keep it plugged in all the time? anyway when i copied the files over to the hard drive there were no problems what so ever??? although i haven't updated that computer in a long time, may it be the actual install shield program it is using? also i have heard you can manually install programs by placing certain files were ever they need to go or something? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneyLogic Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If it worked to copy the entire content of the DVD to your HD, then the Drive should work...Compare the size to check if all files has bee copied sucessfully. But anyway, also try to perform a Windowsupdate, udate DirectX and get the Windows Installer. Install Fallout from HD and run the setup as Admin. hope it helps Edit:Do you have XP Service Pack 3? If not, get it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spammster Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 actually, installing Fallout on an external drive is no problem what so ever, i install most of my games on a 1 TB external drive, so i can easily switch between notebook and PC without having to install games twice (just need to copy reg-keys and make sure the drive letter is fixed (windows lets you choose a letter for the drive)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
