hi, everyone.

every and each time I try to launch the game, it displays the classic "Insert the correct DVD-ROM" stuff
I use clean, legal win7 ultimate x64, also an original Fallout 3 dvd,
It is trying to run on amd X555, 4GB ram, radeon 4850.
I scrolled trough all the topics, all the faq-s, the securom things and stuff.
i just want to ask, that is there anybody here who figured out something what works, or it is really possible, that a no-cd crack is the only possible solution for that???


thanks in advance.

OK then let me tell you this in a very simple way Ive already helped another guy with this issue and the fact of the matter is that windows 7 can be really annoying in terms of compatibility. I'm having a similar problem with sturmovik 1946 and i wanted to ask you a question within an answer. First go and look up this file d3d9.dll on Google. Once you find it copy and paste it into your fallout three directory folder and then Whahla it should work. Now do you know how to switch between alternate hard drives.

F3 has been twitchy as a cat high on catnip about optical drives and DVD disks since it was new. Many, many people couldn't run the disks at all on their DVD drives to install, and many who were able to install then ran into your problem. To my knowldge, there's never been any admission that it is code carried by the DRM causing this, but that best-guess is what I have made. I had three PCs, and three DVD drives. Only the oldest, a Sony drive, could read the disk. I had to install across the LAN from that PC to the gaming machine(s).

A search should have turned up a thousand of the complaint messages about the DRM.
