Answer 1

Nobody can help you if you don't tell what the error says, there could be a number of problems. From what I see, you have around 958 mb of RAM? That's not very much, computers these days usually have 2-4 gigabytes.

Answer 2

Fallout 3 for 3 motives. a million. Fallout 3 is an historic interest, the ideal blend of shooter and RPG. Fallout 3 is the unique, New Vegas is genuinely a shorter version with very few updates. 2. for a similar cost now i think of you may get Fallout 3 interest of the 365 days, with each and all the dlc, quite broken steel, which lengthens the sport and makes it that quite extra exciting. 3. with none spoilers, enable's merely say there are some explosions available in Fallout 3, to declare the least.

Answer 3

WHAT error happens? Does it just not play? Does a window pop up? What happens exactly?



If I just had to guess, I'd point at your memory. Is that seriously all you have? Because Fallout 3 suggests giving it 1 *GB*.
