FO3 is pretty primitive in the way it handles system codecs, and will frequently just crash if you have a codec installed it doesn't like. One way to test if you have codec issues is by temporarily renaming the Data/Music and Data/Video folders in your program directory to something else (try each one individually) and attempting to start the game. If that works, you have a codec problem! Fixing codec issues is beyond the scope of this guide, but the following steps worked for me:
- Uninstall all audio/video programs not in active use
- Download and install the K-Lite Basic codec pack; run the codec repair tool as part of the install
- Restart the computer

C:\User\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Fallout3\

- Find the following lines:
- iSafeZoneXWide=15
- iSafeZoneYWide=15
- iSafeZoneX=15
Replace with (depending on your resolution):
3840x1024 | 5040x1050 |

iSafeZoneXWide=610 | iSafeZoneXWide=770 |
iSafeZoneYWide=15 | iSafeZoneYWide=15 |
