Why won Fallout install?
According to Interplay, there have been reports of bad CD-ROMs. Basically, it is believed to be a compatibility issue between some CD-ROM drives and the format of the Fallout CD. However, there has been no sure solution released as of yet. Of course, you can always try one of the following suggestions: disable the read-ahead cache, disable the CD-cache altogether, REM out the CD-ROM drives from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT and let Win95 handle the CD-ROM, change the Win95 CD-ROM driver, or try installing under DOS.
