Yesterday I got Fallout 3 for PC. Checking the system requirements, well - glancing quickly, I saw everything looked okay, or similar to what I had.

So, I got home and installed it twice. First time it didn't work, second time it did. But there is yet another problem. That problem would be the graphic adapter/video card I had wasn't what it needed, so I decided to download another one. Not knowing that one - the one I downloaded - was an older version. I accepted it. Never knowing the consequences approaching before me.

Computer restarted, and the resolution was fucked. So I fixed it to something similar to what I had.  

Now this is where it gets to the annoying part.

I checked the game again. I realised I done the wrong video card, so I downloaded a nvidia GeForce 200 series. It said it wasn't "compatible to hardware" on my computer. I downloaded it again - same thing.

My computer isn't the best computer in the world. It annoys me sometimes, like all windows computer -but this time, it's just my fault, and no one else's.

I've tried downloading a couple others and all say the same thing.

So does anyone know what I can do here?  

(** - the resolution was 800 x 600. Recommended resolution is 1680x1050. Atm, mine is 1280x1024.).

Help would be appreciated and a few points will be given to those who help. I'm determined to get this working again.

Post your pc specs

This.

We can't help you if you just post random stuff, we need to know the exact gfx card you have.
