Please help with Fallout 3 Problem

Hello!
I recently downloaded and installed Fallout 3 on my computer using Steam. Every time I try to run the game it immediatly crashes and says "Fallout 3 Has stopped working".
My computer is strong enough to handle the game, and when it auto-detects graphics card it sets the game to ultra high quality, so that should not be the problem.
Anyone else had similar issues or have any advice?
Thank you very much

Mine did that the whole first few days. Have you tried reinstalling it?

You can try deleting fallout3.exe.cfg in \steam\steamapps\common\fallout3 , or try switching to windows basic theme

If that doesnt work, torrent it... You already paid for it, so you should be able to play it. Sounds like it's a problem with the files you downloaded.

I have the same problem with Fallout 3 (sometimes), but it only happens when I quit the game, itll crash.
Try signing out of Steam and then logging back in. I've found that helps to fix a lot of the problems that Steam gives me.

thanks for the tip, but I cant find that file destination... the steam folder only contains my fames and the steam launcher itself and the steam support center.
How can I find the steamapps\common folder?
Thanks
