Cant get Fallout 3 GOTY to start

Post » Sat Sep 03, 2011 5:42 pm

Just bought the game a few days ago. When ever i try start a game I only get as far as the first loading screen and then an error comes up "fallout 3 has stopped working". I have installed both cds. I find it kind of odd though that after installation a desktop shorcut wasnt added or that fallout 3 dosent appear in all programs in my menu and games menu. I have tried reinstalling fallout but got no changes. Disk 2 also takes about 15 mins to get running.

I run window 7 64bit
Intelcore i5-2410M
Intel HD graphics 3000
4GB DDR3 RAM

Any help would be greatly appricated.

Intel HD graphics 3000 ==> not a great start tbh, its not an actual high performance graphics card ie not meant for gaming
