error for no apparent reason

[s3p3hr]

i was running the game fine,then this morning it crashed to desktop on startup for no apparent god damn reason!

here is my info:

win7x64-dell studio 1557 - 4gb ram - ati mobility 4550 - core i7 720

game version:1.4.0.525,no compatibility crap as it was running good without it.

the fault module in error message was different however,here's a screenie.

it seems to be a codec problem,but it cant understand why,the game was running fine! (i have k-lite mega codec pack btw)

here is the load order: (sorted by BOSS)

nevermind,i managed to solve this.(i didn't think i could though.)

here is how i did it,it may be some use to others.

first i removed all codecs from my system with a tiny program called filmerit.

then i downloaded k-lite mega codec pack 32 and 64 bit. (installed 32,then 64.)

and bingo,my fallout nv worked!

though some questions remain like how the hell fallout nv is related to codecs,and why codecs suddenly stopped working!

i guess some things better left unanswered :D

I think they're used in the initial loading screens (desert view with bethesda softworks, obsidian entertainment, the tv test screen etc), don't think of htem as video files, but they do trigger ffdshow request when I first installed my codecs and new(ish) NV install.

Most definitely. ffdshow is one of those hidden problems that occasionally rears its ugly head when it's unhappy. It's such a relatively common problem (not just with Fallout) that a quick Google of it should pop up some interesting pages.
