Computer terminal's wont display if using 360 pad

Really, really, really odd one...

My game got totally cut short, because I can't use computer terminals at all. I'll click use on them, and all that happens is the screen will blur, and... Nothing. I'll hear the tappity tap of keys as it should be, but nothing will pop up. I can click back/cencel and it will take me back as normal, but do it again, and... Same thing.

Obviously, I've tried all the basics, such as restarting Steam, checking Steam files etc. I'm also on the latest nVidia drivers just released. I played Fallout 3 the other month again and never noticed this issue, but it may be related to the very latest drivers. I can't think of anything else...

Now for the odd part, and this really is odd...

I'm using a 360 (don't ask, its just easier when hooked up to the TV) and I thought why not just check for the hell of it if turning it off made any difference... I don't even know WHY I checked now, its so unrelated... But anyway, I turned off pad support in the UI and BOOM, the computer terminal works fine...

And a few seconds later I got a CTD (Not sure if thats even related).

But anyway, this bugs pretty much killing it for me atm...

Anybody have any ideas? I'm running everything on Ultra/Max from the settings, GeForce GTX 295 (which, because is SLI, gets that god awful Bloom bug that Fallout 3 got... Thanks for fixing that...)

Just an update, I tried rolling back video card drivers just incase, no dice, same thing... Meh... Also tried again to mess with the quality options, set all to low etc... No change.

So for now, I'm playing with the 360 pad until I get to a terminal, then switching over to mouse/keyboard... svcks but at least it works...
