I give up :/
But the problem is that the video board isn't supporting the game's graphics? Or is anything else related?

Thak you for your help.

OK, thanks :)

I wanted to pass on my appreciation for this exhaustive thread. My situation was that i had F3 GOTY working but it suddenly stopped working. After following almost every suggestion here, the tip about codecs was the key, i had recently installed Tsunami filter pack 3.9.9.

Did a complete uninstall of that and were back in business!

Thanks to everybody participating in the thread!

So your issue was codec's? Hmm, might look into removing the few ones that I have installed, if the situation gets worse.

I've recently had a bit more luck with my install of FO3, by setting compatibility mode and turning off desktop composition the game rarely crashes any more. There are a couple of area's that I have determined it will crash if I go there, just can't remember which ones Will do some testing tonight and see if I can find them again.

I just got Fallout 3 and i can't seem to find help anywhere for my problem.

Whenever i open Fallout 3 it looks like it's going into the game but crashes instantly after opening and doesn't give me any sort of error or even appear on the task bar.

Can someone please help me.

i figured out a little bit before it even opened i got a message saying

"this program isn't compatible with certain visual elements of windows. Click here for more information."

it changes the visual settings to windows basic then back again before i can click on the message and Fallout 3 doesn't open.

I have tried permenantly changing the settings to windows basic and when i do that nothing happens at all with Fallout 3
