Hi!
Thought I`ll share this...
(Tested with XP x64)

Go to:
C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorMy DocumentsMy GamesFallout3
(if "C:" is where you have installed Windows)

First make a copy by Right-click FalloutPrefs.ini and choose Copy.
Then Paste in the same folder. You should now have a copy of your ini-file
called Copy (1) of FalloutPrefs.ini. This is your backup if something goes wrong.
(If you mess up when changing resolution, just delete the ini-file you have modified,
and delete the "Copy (1) of"-part from the name of your backup, and you should be
back to where you started.)

Right-click FalloutPrefs.ini and choose to Open with... notepad.

In Notepad, press Ctrl+F and paste iSize next to Find what: .
Then click on Find Next.

You should now have located iSize, for With and Hight, and you can change
resolution to your likings... Make sure you choose resolutions that are
supported by your screen(s)!!! Close Notepad and choose to Save Changes.

You now have a new resolution.

----------

If you are using TH2Go and are running high resolutions, like 5040x1050,
you also need to change FALLOUT.INI. (It should be located in the
same folder). Otherwise you would not be able to continue playing after
using a computer in Fallout. (Inside Fallout, the computer screens get too
big to turn them off again).

First make a backup of FALLOUT.INI as explained above.

Right-click FALLOUT.INI and choose to Open with... notepad.
In Notepad, press Ctrl+F and paste fDefaultFOV next to Find what: .
Then click on Find Next.

You should now have located fDefaultFOV for With and Hight, and you
should change this to 195.2000 ( You may try a lower value, but it must
be higher than the original value... Lower value = Bigger screens)
Close Notepad and choose to Save Changes.

You now have smaller computer screens inside Fallout.

Modified INI-files for 5040x1050 can be downloaded here:

(Remember to make backup!!)

----------

NOTE: You need an nVidia card (8*** or higher I think) and the newest
drivers and soft from Matrox to use resolutions of 5040x1050 with TH2Go.
(5040 x 1050 is not supported with ATI at the moment.)

You`ll find what you need here:

Hope this will help someone.. 8)

No such thing as too much information.
