      You could also try updating your drivers. Buggy drivers tend to do bizarre things like that from time to time. If I had to take a guess, I'd guess you have an integrated graphics card, which is really bad for gaming. My 1-year-old laptop barely runs Halo, and it's because of my sucky graphics card.

      If updating your drivers doesn't work and if you have compatible system requirements, the only other thing I could find is to remove the file d3d9.dll and replace it with this one: d3d9.dll . This will "lie" to the game and trick it into thinking it has compatible hardware.

      It... is possible, depending on your laptop certain models will not be upgradable. If it is upgradable, there a 95% chance that it will be very difficult.

      Yup... My advice is just buy a Desktop. Almost everything is upgradable, and there more bang for your buck.

      If you really want to play fallout on a laptop of your specs, get Fallout 2. It is better anyway and very easy to run. You can pick it up for 10 bucks on steam, I believe.
