Hmm, Sounds like a simple UAC problem? simply installationing it to another Catogory than default should help (Such as C:\Games\ ) that is if UAC is active.

I myself let UAC ignore everything (Not Recomended) so I can install in default path and havn't had any problems with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. but when I had UAC on Vista I had a lot of problems with Oblivion (Back in the old days)

so I'm guessing your problem is simply UAC.

well there can be other problems but since your not a "computer savey" I'm guessing its UAC

 

Solutions:

1. Reinstall game into another folder/directory (E.g "C:\Games\Fallout 3") (Recomended)

2. Disable/Ignore UAC settings in Controll Panel -> User Accounts -> Change User Account Controll Settings ( NOT RECOMENDED)

Ok, I had this hassle as well, and the way I went about solving it was as follows:

 

1) I disabled all my mods and then started up the game and tested the save, it worked, this helped me realise that it was a mod and then one by one i enabled my mods until i found the problem mod.

 

2) After using Fomm 13.20 (here's the new version 13.21 http://sourceforge.net/projects/fomm/ ), I followed the load order it recommended and that eliminated the freezing and the CTD's that still popped up with

the conflict between other mods..

 

Hope this helps.
