There is a way to run Fallout 3 on windows 2000. You will need nvidia drivers and several .dll files. However, the game works very mediocre on 2000 with several window/compatibility issues.
Some cards, such as the ATI Radeon and Radeon Mobility X1400 and NVIDIA GeForce 6600 128MB, are not officially supported but can work to varying degrees as long as they meet the minimum specifications.
The current version of Fallout 3 for the PC is version 1.7, released on July 27, 2009.
The default controls are described on page 4 of the game manual and use a combination of keyboard and mouse.

Five add-on packs (Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, Mothership Zeta) have been released via Games for Windows Live between January and August 2009 which add new quests, items and content to Fallout 3.

The second pack was published on August 25, 2009 and contains Broken Steel as well as Point Lookout. Both retail packages cost $19.99 US each.
