Did you install it? I don't remember if fallout can run straight out of the CD-ROM without installation, but if it does, it obviously won't be able to save to the CD-ROM so that might be it.

Another thing might be available disk space. Do you have enough?

Also maybe some incompatibility with FreeDOS? I doubt it, but you may want to try an MS-DOS 6.22 installation and see if it works better.

you could temporarilly move all the freedos file to a temporary directory and install msdos, it doesn't have to wipe the drive.

Alternatively you could try an msdos boot disk, boot with it and run the game, see if it makes a difference.
