I reckon that's because you have the GECK installed in the wrong location, or maybe the install didn't go so well. Like fallout 3 for example, many folks still install it outside of program files following the old rules. So instead of C:/program files/bethesda softworks/fallout 3, we install it to C:/bethesda softworks/fallout 3 Basicly giving fallout it's own folder on the hard-drive. This mostly done nowdays to honor the old ways, but it all started as a way to avoid windows putting security risks on fallout 3 data (which windows does for everything in program files)

 

So say fallout 3 is installed C:/bethesda softworks/fallout 3, Well that's the same place where you would install GECK, FO3edit, FOSE, FOMM... Which is just installing it inside the fallout folder (you know the one after bethesda softworks, yah that one) So eh either way, where ever your fallout is installed first make sure you installed the GECK there. You could also search nexus for the actual answer, this is just a guess, because I've never had the problem. Maybe looking thru 20 posts from a search of the word GECK on Nexus forums you would probably bring up the solution. You could always un-install the GECK an install it again, which would be pretty easy. You need to find the mod you created an saved though. Idk keep looking I guess.

 

I just updated me guide, if you are interested, it's not for GECK but general fallout 3 builds http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13100
