Hello folks, I have just re-installed FO3 onto Windows 7 and on a computer with a 64 bit capable processor. Fallout runs as well as ever AND it sees the two mods I have installed, which is more than I can say for Oblivion.

One of the mods is 'mini hideout' which I really like as it is small, secure and its creator has thought of everything. It is ideal for me as a safe haven. BUT, when I go in there now, the waterfall and the pristine coke dispenser both have see-through chunks of white and red blocky shapes coming out from them. I am going to poke around in options and see if turning off HDR ( or something) might fix it, but if I cannot do that, I will have to uninstall this mod and look for somewhere else to live. Trouble is, having looked at a fair few alternatives, I haven't found any other mods that I like as much - there are some grand ones available, but either they are not secure enough for me ( I object to mirelurks attacking me once the front door is closed), or they are huge vault-type dwellings, which are not cosy enough for me, or they are in creepy settings like sewers. Can you recommend somewhere small safe and snug, please? Fank you

I've been having similar problems lately too. I am beginning to think it is the new (supposedly certified) version of the nVidia drivers. I think I may have to revert to the more stable 186.17 version recommended in the Tweak Guide.

Another new oddity is that once I exit Vault 101, certain keyboard functionality is lost (E key, ESC to save, etc.) ... it's been a frustrating Fallout3 week for me, as whatever is causing the problem just won't seem to go away!
