Fallout no longer crashes!
Finally it works! It works! I played it 1.5 hours straight without any crashes! Oh what a momentous day, I will always remember this day! Oh yeah, and there was an election.
How I got fallout 3 to stop crashing.
As I posted in the following two forums:

I tried all of below, before turning on anti-aliasing, I originally had it off for performance reasons, thinking I had to, but I turned it on to test, and I just ran 1.5 hours straight, no crash.
these are the other things I tried:
killed avg software processes and all messaging clients
-no luck
avg running from this point on
changed to low res
-no luck
tried changing the controls to default (I've only changed invert mouse to on)
-no luck
uninstalled my codec packs (K-Lite, XP complete) to remove ffdshow
-looked like it worked for a while, but in the end, no luck uninstaled acholhol 44%
-no luck
tried connecting to the internet directly through the dsl modem instead of through the server
-no luck
direct internet connection from this point on tried running fallout3.exe
-no luck, a little more stable though, 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds
using fallout3.exe from this point on
switched to only 1 enabled network connection
-no luck
only one network connection from this point on
tried not using usb headphones
-no luck
using built in laptop speakers from this point on
changed realtek to stereo
-no luck
tried it in compatability mode (win2000)
-no luck, changed it back
changed the ini file for the shadow mem
-no luck
-added in the compatability mode fix
-no luck, no locked in stead of crashed
-tried each compatability mode
-no luck
rolled back the ini
-tried each compatability mode
-no luck
rolled back compatability mode
installed K-Lite
-no luck
-added in the compatability mode fix
-no luck, no locked in stead of crashed
-tried each compatability mode

-Seems to be working.
Changed back to multiple network connections, usb headphones, running from the short cut.

Good old days
My words of wisdom for the day, "The good olds days really weren't that good. That's why we try to evolve."
Also, I found out today that there is an hour in the morning that I really don't want to hear massive negativity. I found this out as a bus driver and bus patrons started complaining about the world, at 7am. As far as I'm concerned, the world isn't completely there yet that early, so stop picking on it.
