I realize that there is a Fallout 3 thread, but I searched through it and didn't really see anything addressing my issue. Is this Securom? Is it possible that a nocd crack would help me in this case? I didn't have to input a CD key during install.
I'm guessing through Live, but I'm not sure. I should ask, what does Games for Windows Live do for me? Should I be launching the game through that? Also, I have a Live access code or something inside the game's DVD box, but I don't know where to use that. I can uncheck the box, apply, then right click the folder again only to see it still as read only. I've tried to un-check "read only" for the save folder (C:\Users\(myname)\my documents\my games\savegames\fallout 3), but that doesn't stick. I am an administrator, so I have full permissions. In fact, I can't even get the initial loading screens when I do that.
I've tried running the game in compatibility mode for XP and Vista, and neither work. The more I try, the sooner it seems to be happening. It also starts to prompt me that Fallout 3 has stopped working, should I look online for a solution or close the program. This is repeated about 6 times with restarts to my computer in between each attempt. After a bit, I ctrl+alt+delete out to see that Fallout 3 is "not responding." I kill the program, and this causes the sound to get stuck in a repeating loop that won't go away until I restart my computer. The music is playing, but nothing is happening.
The game begins the load sequence, I see the little loading status icon (like a pie chart divided into 4 sections in the bottom middle screen), and it stops just a hair over the 3/4 mark. I change the resolution to my monitor's native 1680x1050, and finally select "new" to start a new game. I go to settings and set it to as low as it can go, but it has no effect.
It's as though the sensitivity is maxed out, with maximum acceleration. The first thing I notice on the menu screen is that my mouse moves WAY too fast. The patch installation goes OK, and the game automatically starts up. I go to and get the latest patch for the game, 1.5, and begin by installing that patch. Start, All Programs, and nothing there for Fallout 3. Fallout 3's install went well, but it didn't create any shortcuts in my start menu for some reason. I've had the game, sitting in plastic, for about 3 months, so I was pretty excited to check it out. I finally decide to unwrap my Fallout 3 and install the game.
