I have a good gaming laptop, good enough to run New Vegas on Ultra, 2nd gen i5 processor with a RADEON HD 6550M graphics card, on a y460p lenovo ideapad, tried verifying the game cache, updated absolutely everything via the device manager, i have no background programs running while playing, i even tried it on the lowest settings, i even reinstalled new vegas. Still nothing, crashes right away and i can't figure out why, anyone know how i can fix this or contact some sort of official support?

Crashes where? Try uninstalling one-key theater. Check control panel->program and features for win 7 or add/remove programs for win xp.

Crashes either at the intro screen when loading a save, or it will go for about a minute then crash no matter where i am, usually when entering a building though. What is one key theater? I see that i have it and just uninstalled it so i'll give new vegas another try later tonight.

There was ZERO requirement to start still another message thread when this one was still open.

How do I know when it is open or closed, regardless, the issue still hasnt been resolved

i hate to say it but i had to do a complete os reinstall on windows 7....then it ran perfect....make sure you turn off auto save and try to start a fresh game....might have a corrupt save too
