this is madness :blink: the virus search found nothing, i restored my "documents" folder, rebootet, vista made some updates and its working again!!! at least the unpatched/clean instalation does, ill build up from there and see what happens. could it have been the missing "documents" folder after all? thought i had deleted it, but it was just moved to "downloads"(clumsy clickin). removed, changed the path back, seems fine. Edit: after the start the game produced folders in there, so it must have been the issue. without the folder it couldnt complete his start routine? standart procedure^^ i should have been clearer here. i thought you meant defrag instead of defag(typo), i use ccleaner and the last time is not too far away. while i do appreciate the knowledge about DEP, i dont think its necessary for me at the moment. ill rather build back to where i was, and see if it works(which it did fine, till today)than fiddling around with something new^^ Nevertheless, many thanks for your help! Edit: You sound kinda "knowing"^^ any tipps how i can improve fallouts over all stability and bugs?

dunno, bunch off trojans and such where detected by antivir and cleansed, so i think they didnt got through. afterwards i let malware look it over and cleansed what antivir didnt get directly, im doing a deep search right now(antivir). im expierencing no other problems. ill update to sp2 in a minute, and defrag usually takes HOURS for me(400 gig drive, shouldnt be much?) so its no option right now. well, i only have one drive^^ i just noticed that i accidantly deleted my "documents" folder, and currently i try to get it back or make a new one(just not my day :wallbash: ) but this shouldnt be the source? i just cant understand why FO3(and only FO3) keeps dying suddenly, and how the lauchner issue could be created in the first place. bet its all vista´s fault :ermm:

Hey folks, as we all know FO tends to bug the fudge out due to various reasons :wallbash: well my newest problem is that i cant start the game anymore, neither through FOMM, nor through the default executeables!! When i do so, it just brings up the launcher of FO(even in FOMM, where this shouldnt happen) where i can change graphic&stuff. The "Play" button is there, but when i click it, the launcher closes, the PC works for a moment, the disc drive shows action and then im back in the launcher! Somehow, the game wont start, the launcher just reappears! I had my share of minor freezes,CTD`S and graphic glitches but that does it!! :yucky: I re-installed the game, no change. Yesterday it was fine, i played like 3 hours without problems. I had a mild virus attack today but antivir/malwarebytes cleansed it, could this be a cause?? I would not think so, but my knowledge is limited. maybe it effed my regristry up or something?? ill add a short list of specs, ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!! --------------------------------------------------------------- -OS-Vista 32bit home premium Sp.1 -FO3(german version) -FO3-Patch 1.6 -FO3-Uncut Patch 1.6(trusted developers, never had no problems) -FOMM(current vers.
