Windows 7: Fallout 3 crashes on startup, I think GFWL is to blameEvery time I try

becktionary · 15 Aug 2010

Every time I try to start up FO3 GOTY Edition, which I bought on Steam, the game loads and it gets to the the very first projection slide or two, complete with music and sound, and then crashes to desktop. Looking in the Event Viewer, there are these two items in order of when they happened.

It's weird because GFWL seems to work fine in RF:G. Can anyone help?

If it's useful, my setup is as follows
Core i5 750 OC'd to around 3.5Ghz
EVGA GTX460 w/ 1GB RAM
4 gigs of RAM
Gigabyte P55M UD2 mobo
Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
