I've tried everything in this thread: -

I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 and the intro movie plays for a second or two, sometimes a bit longer then freezes and I have to kill the game via task manager. In summary, for those who can't be bothered to read the above thread (and I don't blame you ;)): -

* Tried compatibility settings on Fallout3.exe, FalloutLauncher.exe and various other things
* Tried installing klite
* Altered .ini file
* Enabled multiple cores
* Tried putting the d3d9.dll into the relevant folder
* Tried unofficial patch
* Disabled GFWL

Anybody got a reliable way of fixing this problem? Or anything else I can try?
 
Sorry, yes I made the change you've detailed there. Not disabled anything atm, but I'm loathe to disable firewall.

Yes, verified game cache in Steam.

Got it to the stage now where it did all the way up to and including character creation and naming, but now crashes immediately afterwards. Of course, it's still within some FMV, so I imagine it's still the same issue...
 
Checked the ffdshow settings (audio/video) and Fallout3.exe is already there.

Just trying the latest catalysts..

I didn't realise this was going to be so hard. I thought it was a bargain for ~£3, but not if it doesn't run ;)

EDIT: Catalyst 13.4 has made the problem worse! Gets less far than it did before :(

Finally did it, although I've changed/tweaked so many things I have no idea what finally did it. Never remember it all if I reinstall! Thanks for all the suggestions guys and gals :)
