I guess Butch's gang was right- the 3000A is junk.

I'm running Fallout 3 GOTY edition with the v1.7 patch on a two-week old installation of W7 64-bit, SP1. Following advice I'd seen here and elsewhere, I think I have the "random freezing" problem licked, but there's still one issue that I haven't been able to solve, and that's getting stuck forever in the Pip Boy interface. I mash the key I've bound to the Pip Boy and use Tab, but nothing will bring me back to the game proper. I get stuck in the Pip Boy and there's nothing I can do to get out of it except quit the game altogether and reload.

It's pretty frustrating. A cursory search of the forums here didn't turn up anything, but I suspect others have encountered it before. Any advice?

Thanks!
