A: That message, "failed to initialize renderer Hardware T&L required by not supported by adapter" usually indicates that the video card in the system is below the requirements and lacks the functionality required to run the game.

• Answer:

  If you don't have a PCI-E express slot, chances are you probably have an older PCI slot (or an AGP, if your computer is really old). There are PCI cards out there, although none of them will really run Fallout 3 -- PCI cards were out of production by 2003. Sorry, but looks like you'll have to wait until you get a new system that has a more up to date motherboard and a PCI-E 16x slot The PCI-E 16x looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PCI-Express-Bus.jpg This is a PCI slot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PCI_Slots_Digon3.JPG
