File failed to validate and must be reaquired

Hey everyone.

I'm having a problem. Every time i try to launch FNV it crashes, i then have to revalidate the files to get it to run. It runs for about 5 mins then freezes my entire system and requires a full reboot.

The file which doesn't validate is c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\InstallScript.vdf

I've tried reinstalling from steam and from the CD but neither work, must be an error in the update maybe??

 

My system specs: Windows 7, 2 Gb RAM, Radeon 6800XT graphics card, Intel core 2 duo 2.4 GHz.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

You got UAC issues causing your game to fail

move your install of steam outside of the cursed UAC directories

 

Hinty - its quick and easy - but you gotta read how on the steam forums

OR, you could just edit the folder permissions and not have to move anything.

the official move is around 5 keystrokes

 

and leaves UAC to mind its own business

 

while you mod happily

 

with no re-occurring megalomania stopping you at the worst possible times
