OlafHelmsborg Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I'd really like to use this, or Falloutedit, but both don't work as I moved my Bethesda folder from out of program files (I have windows vista 32) and both sorting programs can't locate the folder - saying its not where it used to be, any idea how to get it to read the new location? I moved it to just the C drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csb Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 FO3Edit, Fallout Mod Manager and other utilities read the Windows registry to locate the Fallout3 directory. If you moved it manually, they won't find it. So you can: 1. Reinstall Fallout 3. A directory other than default (Program Files/Bethesda ...etc.) is preferrable, particularly on Vista/Windows 7. This is the best option. 2. Edit the Windows registry to reflect the new location. I recommend this right above "wipe your hard drive". If you know the registry and are comfortable in making edits in it, then this is faster than a re-installation. But be forewarned that messing around in regedit is not for the faint of heart or inexperienced, as it (a) doesn't have an Undo feature (b) is a bypass of installation and other programs that make registry entries. All changes are immediate, so ensure you have a backup and know how to restore it. See recommendation 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
