| Fallout 3 not working, please help..
I just got Fallout 3 and installed it, but when I get to the title screen and press new game it starts to load then a message pops up and says "Fallout 3 has stopped running". I met all the recommended requirements and updated my drivers yet I am unable to run this game. This is beyond annoying, can anyone please help me? |

My 1st guess is to try the patch they released? What OS are you running and is it up to date?
I had some finicky issues with it also. Here is the patch: Fallout: Welcome to the Official Site
or simply log into Windows Live.

As the others have said, your onboard Intel GM 965 graphics chip cannot run the game.
You will need a dedicated video card to run that game as it's more graphics intensive than your integrated graphics can handle. | |

As it is a laptop you wont be able to add a graphics card. | |
