Start a new game in Fallout 3 (fallout 3 has stopped working) help!

I have windows 7 Home Edition premium, I just downloaded fallout 3 out of gamestop. I was happy to play so I booted up and when I start a new game it goes to the loading each time, screen and then hangs. It is for me a window saying fallout 3 has stopped working... I would appreciate an answer I'd like to play this game.

Hey everybody.  It took me awhile to find the answer to this one.  Recently, I upgraded my laptop older to a new 64 bit Windows 7 OS kernel based Dell I7.  I reinstalled my copy of the edition of Fallout 3 GOY, and it would crash at startup, as soon as I clicked on 'new game '.  Finally after reading hundreds of posts on Fallout 3 crash, I came across this video which showed me the you tube fix. http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=4GN5HbMsMVE  Basically, the original Fallout 3 (Fallout 3 GOY edition and) does not contain the d3d9.dll file in the directory of Fallout 3.  Download this dll and put it in the directory of Fallout 3 corrected it for me instantly.

I hope that helps!
