Did you install Fallout in the default? (eg Program Files) If so you need to give Vista permission to access it. I never install games into the default place because of that issue.

 

Are you sure you installed the mod into the right place? Did you use FOMM to install it all?

 

Did you do the archive invalidation? The reason for the red punctuation marks is usually missing meshes/textures, that is the game can't find them. Archive invalidation tells them to look into other places than the default BSAs. Pretty much the most important step to get any mod with textures working.

 

FOSE is only needed for the in game functionality of things. It has nothing to do with textures found or not.
