^{The underlined portion is your problem "C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data\Anchorage" You cannot make changes any part of any program that is protected by the User Access Control. You need to run FOMM as an administrator. To avoid any other possible problems, you should uninstall Fallout 3 and reinstall it and all the DLCs on a part of your hard drive that is outside of "Program Files".}

go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data and right click it should have have read only checked, uncheck this and NMM should be able to use Archive Invalidation.
