What operating system are you running? If it's post-XP you'll want to reinstall outside of the Program Files to get around the various problems associated with it.

uggg, i found a work around using geck to copy the file to desktop and manually placing it in the data folder

This is a common problem, and there are several solutions:

 

If you have Vista or Windows7, AND you installed your game in the default directory, then you will never see the mod in the data folder.

 

The GECK is NOT part of the game so the OS sees it as a virus or trojan program trying to change FO3 game files. This is not allowed by the OS.

 

 

Solution? Pick one of these:

 

1. Install your game to your Root C: drive. Like C:\Games\Fallout3\

2. Remove the security from your OS so it can join the XP computer ranks and become a Zombie computer.

3. In your \Fallout3\Data\ folder, look at the top right. There should be a button called 'Compatibility Files'. Click that to find your mod. You can then copy it from there to your Data folder.

4. Run the GECK in Administrator mode. Right-click on the icon and select, Run as Administrator.
