Best Answer

The unofficial patch often causes Fallout 3 to stop responding or crash to the desktop on Windows Vista and 7. It was fine on XP. You can uninstall the unofficial patch and install the newest official patch on any Windows version and it should run fine. Note that the PC version of Fallout 3 is quite buggy and contains many glitches that cause it to crash. Some have been fixed with the official patch and some were fixed by the modding community. Get a hold of Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM) and get a few game fix mods from The Nexus Forums (Fallout Nexus Mod Archive).
