Skotte Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 this is why I have Fallout3 installed to... D:\Games\Bethesda Softworks\ Vista doesn't fuss at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJexs Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 no i moved it so vista doesnt have a problem now the game does the launcher wont let me pick my mods and it loads every mod in the folder plus more that i dont even have anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skotte Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ok, I have another idea.go to C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Fallout3 , you should see a file called "plugins.txt" delete it (this clears the memory of what mods you have activated) the launcher should be able to make a new one when you select your mods again. BTW: when you said you "moved it" you didn't mean you just copied it to a new location did you?**sorry for asking but may be relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have vista and i use it fine with everything installed to c:\program files. Seriously it's simple, just google turning off UAC in vista. UAC = User Account Controls. If you knew this already, then i apologise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
