krbjms Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I am running with Vista (with no problems), I have downloaded and instaled G.E.C.K. and serval mods. I have searched, read, and followed all the information I can find on installing and using G.E.C.K., but when mods talk about "Start Fallout Launcher, and click 'Data Files'", I never see the discribed and shown box to 'check' on. When I start G.E.C.K. I see the intalled mods and can open the window that lets me check the plug in's and set up the active file (all this outside the game), just not when starting the game. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbkaiser Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Did you install the game in Program Files? Vista protects this folder from editing, and moves any edited files to the Virtual Store. You'll find this if you go to FO3\data and click 'compatibility files' in the top toolbar. The best way to prevent this is to stop installing games in Program Files... reinstall in C:\Games instead. Or turn off UAC -- but this is not something I recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krbjms Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have done as you sugested, uninstalling and re-installing in a new folder named 'Games', installed the patch, and uninstalled and re-installed G.E.C.K.; still no data window opens when I launch FO3.... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
