well thanks for the help, lol i've found something which eases the problem, it comes back sometimes but very few, nearly never solution was to set the windows taskbar's "auto-hide" and "always on top" off hope it helps some other people out

I managed to install fallout 1 on w2k, following a nice tutorial after creating a character and starting to play, my screen did suddenly become all black the game isnt crashed it seems, when i move the mouse to scroll, it refreshes the screen and the world is back (but not the bottom "toolbar") if i go to the "load" screen (to force a refresh of all the screen) then everything is back until some seconds after, when everything becomes black again the mouse cursor "paints" the black off, revealing the normal game screen I can still do everything, access inventory, fight, etc, just that the screen turns black every few seconds and needs to be "refreshed" when my character walks around, the screen around him is refreshed and visible too system is: P4 1.6ghz GeForce2 ultra 32mo win 2000 pro, SP4 nvidia 44.03 drivers directX 9.0a i tried the qfixapp.exe thing with win95 and win98 setting but it didnt solve anything If anyone has a solution or even a hint i'd be very happy thanks all
