I am also using NMC's Texture Pack and running on Windows 7.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

OK, on a whim I decided to turn Archive Invalidation Invalidated! off, and suddenly the game works again.

Can anyone explain why this happened? I am extremely confused by it.

Bump?

Bump?

ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! will set bInvalidateOlderFiles to 1, on some computers setting bInvalidateOlderFiles to 1 in Fallout 3's ini will cause the game to crash on startup, at the moment it is unknown why this happens and there is no solution yet, unfortunatly you'll have to do without ANY modified original content since bInvalidateOlderFiles needs to be set to 1 to use any.
