Well, i got Fallout 3. So , i put it in my dvd drive, and what do ya know....an error pops up.

it says : D:\ The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. please se the application event log for more info.

i am not sure if this is the dvd drive or the disk, because it has happened with some other dvd games, such as Dawn of War Soulstorm and Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts. i am using vista ultimate 62 bit.

hey, i am running vista ultimate 64 bit, and when i go to update it says i need to update the updater......then i get an error message saying code:800f081f.

i just installed vista, and i had reformated xp and need the updates, i believe they are making my computer crash w/o them.

i even asked for ppl not to complain about ati...go look at specs, almost every aspect of this card is better. off by few mhz, by about 25.

BUT PLZ! i need help, not complaints.

yah, i replaced my 8800gtx with a new diamond 2900xt......and it wont work. i have reset bios, changed pins, reinstalled everything, reformatted, and changed around the very small pins on the card itself. i have an ASUS striker extreme motherboard, and willl destroy newegg if this is a faulty card.

PS: please dont say, well, ati is your problem, or anything like that. i need help, not jack@$$es.

A- how old are you? (to help with question b a bit.)

B. How tech-savvy are you?

C. have you read the xbox-live setup guide and contacted their customer support line?
