Talonkarrde Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Okay, so I bought the Fallout 3: GOTY edition a bit back. I have the base game running, but when I try and install the DLCs, my drive goes into a sort of idle mode and doesn't do anything. Any help would be appriciated. I am running an Inspiron 530 with Vista Home Basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Shaw we understand you can't read the media content? PS: sometimes the autorun may fail, if you can read the DVD try running manually the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonkarrde Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yeah, nothing is showing up, no autorun or anything. I have however tried running the DLC exe from the disk itself. Same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkleiss Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Many have problems reading the 2nd disk of the GOTY edition. I had to re-eject that disk some 13 times before my PC actually read it. Some have offered that booting into safe mode will also help, though it did not work in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigsters Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 On my PC it took 4 to 5 minutes for the dlc disc to run and install, did you wait long enough? the disc maybe busy gathering information, that's why it takes 4 to 5 minutes to install and run!..

Fonger Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 there's quite alot of this going around (and it seems to be related to the security system used on the particular disk) but for some reason a solution doesn't seem to have been pinned in any forum. http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=171900&st=0&p=1478033&hl=dlc&fromsearch=1entry1478033 have also seen recommended: deactivate your anti-virus (obviously, manually disconnect from internet before trying this) install in "safe mode" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonkarrde Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hey! Thanks for the fast responses! I've let the DLC disk run for a bit, but it hasn't installed. I'll try it for a longer period of time. If that doesn't work, I'll attempt installing the DLCs in Safe Mode. I'll either edit or post the results later. Thanks again! EDIT: Thank you all! It finally worked. I let it run for about a half hour and it finally showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
