Go to windows.com and enter the error code in the search area and you will get your answer.

What I have found out so far is, that there might be a problem with the GraphicCard. I try to reinstall and update the driver. Anyone else with good ideas?

Edit: I installed the last and new driver for my graphic card but I still have the same error when I try to install the game.

i found out that the game maybe is not compatibl with Win 7. I also have found topics by searching google to this error code. It seem its also on Vista and XP systems.

Is anyone playing the Fallout 3 GOTY Edition with a Win 7 64 bit system ?? Or maybe I have only on my system the problem?
