FO3 Crash at startup

Post » Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:46 am

I got Fallout 3 this past sunday, i installed it and tried to play it but as soon as i started up the game it crashed and prepared a error report... I have been all over the place downloading things, windows xp service pack updates, windows live updates and fallout updates but nothing works... i even tried running it with the disable visual themes option checked but it just crashes at startup. my next thought was that i needed to update my graphics drivers, but i can't find anywhere to download the drivers without registering some stupid scanner thing that i don't want (please link it if you can). i meet all of the system requirements (barely) and it should run. if anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated :)
