This may have fixed your problem, but there WILL be a border around the window of the game. Even in Full Screen!


I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS, INCLUDING:

-Save Corruption

-PC messing up

-Fallout stop working all together


If you have issues, I cannot help you anymore, mainly because I upgraded to Windows 10. I will keep the guide up, but I can't solve ANYTHING. The community will have to solve it, and if a problem is solved, I'll add it to the problems tab along with the status "resolved". I hope this doesn't make people think this guide is useless because I can't personally find the solution. This guide WILL continue to update with new problems and answers, so everyone can enjoy the best version of Fallout 3 before they get their hands on Fallout 4. Thank you for reading this small essay of mine, and you better stay sexy inside the beautiful enviroment of Fallout 3. :)
