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!

Fallout 3 crashes when you start a new game on my laptop.
OK so I have a HP G62 laptop with all the default material, i3 processor 4 GB RAM and 320 hard drive. I recently bought fallout 3 because I played at the home of a friend and really liked. Unfortunately I have windows 7 and it is not compatible with fallout 3. I contacted Bethesda and all I got was basically try compatibility mode and if this does not work then you are out of luck. I traveled form after form and nothing don't suggested someone worked. My question is that when I open the game I click New game and after selecting the Yes it option loads for a bit then crashes and I get a window saying that Fallout 3 has stopped working, please wait while windows looking for a solution, and then it does nothing. I tried everything I found, and literally nothing has worked. I need a solution to this please. I'm sure that something must be able to fix it. Also if you have a solution please explain in detail how it do I can save me from my ever growing headache. Thank you.

Microsoft Picture It 2001 software installed in Windows 7. Program will show a project that I recorded in Windows XP that I upgraded to Windows 7, but it wont let me save the project under a different name. The program does not let me start a blank project. I get the error message "Picture It! has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "Windows did not close the program and did not warn me of a solution.
Microsoft Picture IT is not officially compatible with Windows 7. Microsoft's picture IT was abandoned and has been replaced by Windows Live Photo Gallery. You can download Windows Live Photo Gallery for free and install it on Windows 7, but there only basic editing features.

Games folder has stopped working all of a sudden
Hello...
My folder of the game has stopped working for some reason any. I mean, it was working perfectly and suddenly, all my games disappeared.
Problems:
1. cannot drag ANY game in the folder to create even the simplest links;
2. no game seems to go in the Games folder of all after installing it. Only Fallout 3, but that too after it write manually using the command prompt. Will not work with other coz' I don't really know for others;
3. even after manual registry entires, only some will appear and that too, just an icon without any kind of information. The icon is too very bad quality. Most of these managers to game such that VGEE won't even pick up one of these games;
4. it seems to be two registry entries. Is this normal? PIC is here:
http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/7509/capturebf.PNG
The files, btw, will be visible only if I add games in the top folder.
-----
I have already tried to disable and reactivate the control panel Games folder, have tried to create a new registry entries, tried to delete a user and create a new, tried to use software like VGEE, tried to remove the registry entries and start fresh, tried the thing 'show all files' and other things that I remember.
What should do? How to create links in the folder?
And please don't say pc format, coz I have over 60 games, averaged around 6 GB, larger be up to 14 GB, which I'll have to download it again and loads of other software too, some have no CD or digital download copy or such. Received more than 1 TB of files, it would be really a copy/paste of pain.
Is the folder of games btw: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6810/capturecl.PNG

I recently bought the game spore original and installed on my compaq cq5320f. It installed correctly but when I try to run the game, the screen goes out for a second, then an error message box saying "spore has stopped working" it self closes and says windows is working on a solution and if it finds one, that he will let me know. the only option is to close the box.
I tried everything, including a spoke with a representative from EA that had me do a start-up in minimal mode, of the United Nations and to reinstall and even suggested I buy a new video card: I did. I upgraded to the Radeon 4850.
I am the only user on this computer and have had norton antivirus running on it every second because she was online. When I right click on the SPORE icon, it does not give my an option to run the previous version and the same error occurs when you try to run as an administrator (whose profile is already anyway).
I am at a loss here. I know that's not the game, because I installed it on my laptop (running Vista) and it works fine.
Please... help?Hey mervcasey,
Please test this behavior in the new user account. Not sure if this will help, but it is worth looking at.
Method 1:
Create a new user account for testing purposes.
For a full tutorial on the same, see: create a user account
Method 2:
If method 1 is the problem, you might be interested in this article to help with the same problem.

Method 3:
If both methods fail, please check your event log and see if there are any notable event that can help to shed light on the case.
