Repalying the good-old Fallout!

Hey all, I'm new to forums! Downloaded various patches and mods from NMA site to replay the good old fallout but I'm not sure what I should use...

What I have done:
Installed Fallout using Fallout_Setup_for_Win2K_XP.exe
*Backuped DATA folder and FalloutW.exe
*and in that order installed:
patch 1.2
patch 1.3.2
NPCmod (for unofficial 1.3 patch only)

Started Fallout... created a new char... but afther intro, when game should start, screen fades to black windows plays the default error sound and I the only way to close it is ctrl+alt+del.
I'm not sure what error is because all it says is: "Aplication error: FALLOUTW.exe"

So what could it be? What patches should I install? Thanks in advance!

Are all of the patches compatable ?

Have you tried playing it WITHOUT any patches ?

Did you piss into your computer ?

Were you playing FO with FO2 patches ?

Used "Fallout_Setup_for_Win2K_XP" 264kb to intall
CRITTER.DAT - 21.440 kb
MASTER.DAT - 325.855 kb

I cant run the game unpatched on winxp as anyone else (I guess)
But any patches I use, no matter with one:
official 1.1 - 556kb
1.2 - 458kb
1.25 - 251kb
1.3.2 - 252kb
NPCmod - 31,4kb

I get the same error, with is:
Application Error:C:\Fallout\FalloutW.exe
An integer divided by zero was encountered at address 004b00e5
Click on OK to terminate the application

No idea... I'm running XP with service pack 2 and Fallout installs with no special gimmicks or patches.

Old thread, but should anyone still be interested in a possible "solution" to this problem, here's mine.
In my case it's the knife. (the one you have at the very beginning).
The error occurs when trying to use something (hand icon) while armed with the knife. It also occurs when trying to use "switch hands"-button while armed with it.
Workaround: open inventory to equip/unequip knife, which otherwise works fine.

Just to let you know

That's a new one. Sounds like a weird bug.

I'm getting a very similar problem...

However, the "black glitch screen" where the game freezes only happens to me when I try to enter a town (like Vault 15, Shady Sands, etc). This happens to me with both the unpatched version of the game and the patched version (v1.1).

Weird, I never had this problem before.
