...Because it's getting kind of tedious. Wouldn't be so bad if I could use Task Manager to close the darn thing but of course that would be too much to ask; New Vegas insists my computer have a stroke every time I walk over the wrong pebble or whatever bad coding it is that causes a lock up every 10 seconds. Someone should think about patching this game.

Heh, welcome to Fallout . Jokes aside, the team is patching the game fairly often AND quickly ( if I remember correctly, the first patch came out the first week after the game came out). Until the fix comes (unofficial patch?) you're left with this, i guess.
