When I try to run Fallout 3, it says this:

"The program couldn't start because xlive.dll is missing. Try re-installing the program to fix this problem".

Can anyone give me an asnwer to this please? Thanks a bunch.

Download the file from there. By the way, it took me like 2 seconds to google Xlive.dll and it came up with it.

But does that have a virus? That place doesn't look that safe...

It's a known problem.

You have to uninstall the GFWL version that comes with Fallout 3 and install the one you can download from Microsoft's site.
