Deleted54170User Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 i installed Fallout 3 without any problems but when i try to start it up i get a message saying: Fallout 3 has stopped working and windows is trying to find a solution. Im using Vista. can anyone help me? I found out I can give my antivirus settings permissions to let certain files work on my machine. Right after a clean install I started the launch window, clicked on play, and my monitor screen went blank. I struggled with it all night and gave up. In the morning when I came back to it I decided to turn off my Internet modem. That did not help. I rebooted and turned off my anti-virus software and Game On!Do you recall how Microsoft so politely would remind us when we loaded "none certified software" that it wasn't? Well, my antivirus softwared put every file, except the launcher, into a pending state. Until I figured out this new Internet Security Suites little suspension of almost all the files in Fallout 3 root folder on my Vista Ultimate software they were locked.I don't know if this will help you, but I gave my personal permission to let all the .dlls, .bsa, and such in the folder to run on my machine and game problem solved.

CowgirlFromHell Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Honestly, your best option is to update the game to the latest version and if that doesn't work, get a new graphics card. Otherwise you're probably not going to get it to work without a lot of pain in the ass work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted54170User Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Here's another little point for Vista. Windows Defender can be switched off and on. I turned it on back when I was searching for a new Malware, Spyware, etc suite. I just had a little mouse control freeze. I could see the Pipboy-3000 and the pictures background was moving but the mouse arrow was frozen. I shut down and as my temperature started rising that Windows Defender gave up a pop up message that something had changed in file.I turned off Windows Defenders, "Microsofts little malware, spyware sniffer" and returned to playing the game.
