    Fallout 3 Windows 7?


    I just installed Fallout 3 and all 5 downloadable content. I tried to run it and the launcher runs the screen with "Launch" "Options" "Tech Support" etc.

    When I click launch I get this error:

    "Fallout
    Failed to initialize renderer."

    Only option I get is "OK" when I click it everything cancels.

    Does that mean I can't play it on Windows 7?

    Graphics driver needed and update that's it all sorted now.
