Fallout 3 crashes when I select new game.

[Timothy Stitt]

After browsing the forums for a while I decided to just post my problem myself.

I have a Dell Inspiron N7110 running Windows 7. I installed Fallout 3 added the d3d9.dll file. I made the Fallout_default edits for quad core. I'm running Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 version 9.17.10.2932. My attempts to update the version have ended in failure.

I was wondering if anyone had encountered this same issue or held any insight as to how to fix it.

If you google " fallout 3 intel hd 3000 crash " you get lots of fixes.

Seems to have issues with Windows 7 x64 as well although I am almost 100% sure I have played it a few times on Windows 7. I used the beta of Windows 7 for almost a year before retail was even released and it has not been that long since I played 3.

Now the game crashes before it even gets to the main menu (before I can select new game). I am aware that it's easy to google for an answer, my problem is that I've been for searching for a couple days for a solution and haven't found one.

pointless to ask here, doesn't seem like anyone has the answers. I hope it works for you I've grown tired of trying to fix it.

You did try the old install/run the game in compatibility mode right? Sorry I could not help more but I have not had the problem and without your computer in front of me it's almost impossible to find a fix.

All I can tell you is I would go down the list of fixes in the google search one by one.
