One last thing, I'm running windows 8 consumer preview, if that has any relevance. Now, my girlfriend has a disk for the game, and I'm thinking maybe she can just put all the disk files on a flash drive and copy them to my pc, if that would be an easier solution. I've downloaded over 50 gigs in torrents and spent days working on this problem and am very frustrated. At this point not even the fallout3launcher will run without giving me the same ordinal 42 error. So I download win2k dll fix, still no luck. So I download xlive.dll, put it in the right place, no luck. I downloaded the fallout 3 dlc, (whatever the hell that is) and tried to install the 1.5 patch, at which point I get the error message "ordinal 42 not found in xlive.dll". Until I hit new game, at which point the program force closes. So anyway, I download the torrent, mount the iso, run the fallout3launcher, and everything looks great. Little did I know I would be spending days trying to get the damn thing to work. I have an ultrabook with no disk drive, so I figured i would just get a torrent of the game. I'm new to pc gaming, but have watched my girlfriend play fallout 3 for hours. I apologize if this is the wrong subreddit to post in, but I thought some of you might be able to help me.
