Fallout no longer crashes! Gary Finally it works! It works! I played it 1.5 hours straight without any crashes! Oh what a momentous day, I will always remember this day! Oh yeah, and there was an election.

How I got fallout 3 to stop crashing. Gary As I posted in the following two forums: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=902496 http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=893458&st=160&start=160 I tried all of below, before turning on anti-aliasing, I originally had it off for performance reasons, thinking I had to, but I turned it on to test, and I just ran 1.5 hours straight, no crash. these are the other things I tried: killed avg software processes and all messaging clients -no luck avg running from this point on changed to low res -no luck tried changing the controls to default (I've only changed invert mouse to on) -no luck uninstalled my codec packs (K-Lite, XP complete) to remove ffdshow -looked like it worked for a while, but in the end, no luck uninstaled acholhol 44% -no luck tried connecting to the internet directly through the dsl modem instead of through the server -no luck direct internet connection from this point on tried running fallout3.exe -no luck, a little more stable though, 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds using fallout3.exe from this point on switched to only 1 enabled network connection -no luck only one network connection from this point on tried not using usb headphones -no luck using built in laptop speakers from this point on changed realtek to stereo -no luck tried it in compatability mode (win2000) -no luck, changed it back changed the ini file for the shadow mem -no luck -added in the compatability mode fix -no luck, no locked in stead of crashed -tried each compatability mode -no luck rolled back the ini -tried each compatability mode -no luck rolled back compatability mode installed K-Lite -no luck -added in the compatability mode fix -no luck, no locked in stead of crashed -tried each compatability mode -no luck updated directx -no luck rebooted after directx update -no luck applying XP service pack 3 -no luck turned on antialiasing 2 -Seems to be working. Changed back to multiple network connections, usb headphones, running from the short cut. -still seems to be working.

Good old days Gary My words of wisdom for the day, "The good olds days really weren't that good. That's why we try to evolve." Also, I found out today that there is an hour in the morning that I really don't want to hear massive negativity. I found this out as a bus driver and bus patrons started complaining about the world, at 7am. As far as I'm concerned, the world isn't completely there yet that early, so stop picking on it.
