Hey guys, well Fallout 3 crashs constantly and the solution is to mute music and radio. I dont want to do this. The other solution is to make the game run without ffdshow.

Now I dont understand this at all. I dont have ffdshow installed, or at least I couldn't find it on my pc. But i downloaded it anyway so I could add fallout 3 to the acceptions list but I cant even find an acceptions list. All the instructions to get to it are long out of date because they tell me to go on a tab that doesn't even exist.

The worst part is that it seems once installed the only way to get onto the audio configuration is to reinstall it and tell it to launch it after installing. No where can I find the exe to run ffdshow, not even in its own programs folder.

All instructions say to just type ffdshow into the start menu box to get it up. It doesn't come up for me, all it can find is the download installer pack. I do currently have the audio pannel up after the installation and im not going to close it untill someone helps me out because otherwise I have to reinstall it again just to get it up as it appears to be impossible to find otherwise.

So something is very wrong here. Some help please?

:EDIT:

Apparently I can dissable agp texture acceleration and that fixs it but I dont know how to do this either :/ Apparently you just run dxdiag and click on it to disable but this does nothing and it appears 2 others in the thread have the same problem:

Currently trying to google this one.

:EDIT2:

Woop I've fixed ffdshow actually appearing as a program in my list now some how. I can now find the encoders without reinstalling. Getting somewhere I guess...

If you didn't have it installed then why did you install it and want to add an exception waste of time? But anyway when you install it check to create a program folder and the config is there. Under audio config there's a do not load for section, add the fallout3 executable to that. Or just uninstall it entirely.

desperation. I have no do not load section on mine I've checked every tab :/.

Thank you ever so much. Don't know how I didn't see that. Incompetence probably :P.

:EDIT:

AHHHH fallout 3 is already on it. So why are my crashs almost non existant when music and radio is turned off but pop up like mad when they are on!
