Fallout 3 on Windows 7.

First off I have windows 7 32bit home premium, the launcher and launcher menus work just fine, i click play main menu comes up and all sub menus work just fine, sound is good also. But when i click yes to start a new game it loads for anywhere from 2 to 10 seconds and then stops working. the stop working window thin that pops up try to come up with a cause but ever returns anything, i have let it sit for 15 minutes and nothing. I currently have Battlefield 2 complete collection and left 4 dead and they both work just fine on first try. i have looked through over half of this thread to no improvement at all.

Please help i really want to play Fallout 3.

I would suggest you look over this thread again, then look at your system specs.

Also when you say...

What exactly does that mean???

Have you tried updating your drivers?
Have you tried updating DirectX?
Have you looked into the save folder solution presented here?

We don't know what you did unless you specifically tell us!

Please look over my "How To Ask For Help" guide.

Help us help you!

Thanks.

My problem is about the xlive.dll file. So what ive done so far is I downloaded that file and paste it in the folder but when I launch the game this what comes up "xlive.dll is not designed for windows or it got errors".. What should I do? thanks...
My Laptop Spec:
Asus G51VX-A1
Core 2 Quad 2.0
Geforce GTX 260M 1gb
Windows 7 Home Premium x64bit

Can someone please help me what happens with me is the game loads up and it says 'Fallout 3 has stopped working, a problem caused it to stop working'. I have changed the compatibility to every vista one and every xp and it still doesn't work. I have ran with administrator aswell i have windows home premium 64-bit so any help would be very helpful.

To post such a message you have not read this thread at all, so, maybe, your solution has already bean stated. Second, with all the information you provide to eventually get help I must say it could be your coffee machine that's causing you trouble.

First thing first, read the entire thread and if you still need advise please post some specs about your hardware/software beyond I'm running Vista.

Regards,

First, please forgive me if I've put this in the wrong place. I'm new to forums like this.
My problem : I have finally managed to install FO3, and get it to run, on my Windows 7. But now the "Meshes, sound, textures etc." folders show up as .bsa files instead of the ususal folders, that I could just put things into. I can run the game, but without a lot of the good mods from "Fallout Nexus" The .esp mods work fine though. The game is patched to 1.7
I'm running Win 7 Home P. 64 bit. On a Quad core intel. 4 Giga ram and a GT8800 graphics card. I had the game running with all mods on a Win Vista Ultim. 64 bit. Frequent crashes, but that seems to be normal with FO3!

So, how'd you manage to actually play on windows 7?

Now i've managed to get FO3 from my brother, since i'm unable to install games [CD player drivers or something are dead], does someone knows where i can download just the software? I've got a legal keycode, but i can't install the game :P

I might have found out how to get this game to work.
