What are you trying to do when this happens?
Can you please give the error message verbatim? Possibly post your event logs. Also are what mods are you using?

One good program thats out there, and will solve many of these problems for you, is gameshadow. It will scan your computer fro games and drivers, and update them. Its free, and you just watch their adds, while its downloading. Works very well for me.
but does it do it with the right region it needs to be the right region update otherwise it doesnt work ask eastmanblues he knows more about this region stuff and i need the right region otherwise livedoesnt work and i cant get the update ineed
thanks anyways
OK so the fact that it does not finish downloading your profile makes me think port 3074 is not open. I would begin troubleshooting there. This could be your antivirus or router blocking it. First I would try uninstalling the antivirus for troubleshooting purpouses. If that does not fix I would look at opening ports on your router. The fact that there is not prompt for update is concerning. However it is hard to troubleshoot that until we have a connection to LIVE. Check the back of the box and see where your copy of Fallout 3 was made or printed.
it was made in the EU it says ur half right it doesnt finish downloading my profile but i am getting a propt to update but its just not doing anything ive waited ages and ages but nothing happens so i think the sorce of this problem is indeed my profile not being downloaded propaly and therfore cant download the update propaly and i dont know about uninstally my antivirus soft ware cause do u have to buy it again or can u just renstall with out paying again i wont do anything like that till u get back to me on that and wats this about port 3074 and my router blocking i dont quite understand im not technical
Ok port 3074 is your connection to LIVE services.
If you paid for anti virus software you should not have to pay to reinstall it. If you are unsure you will have to contact the support for your antivirus software.
Here are somethings you can try
Check the MTU on your router the value should be between 1365-1500 anything lower will prohibit your connection to LIVE.

You can try a clean boot
Clean Boot
Restart the computer by using a clean boot procedure When you start Microsoft Windows, other software may start with the operating system. These programs may include antivirus and system utility programs and may interfere with the game. Therefore, you may be returned to the desktop, receive an error message during multiplayer session, or the game may stop responding (hang). When you perform a clean boot before you start setup, you prevent these programs from starting automatically. To perform a clean boot in Microsoft Windows XP, follow these steps. Note To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group. If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from completing this procedure.
Please also let me know the following
Version of Windows: (Start>run> type "winver" press enter)
ISP:
Modem:(model/brand)
Router(model/brand)
Connection type:(wired/wireless)
Anti Virus/ Firewall Software:
Have you been able to connect to live before or this your first attempt: ?
Also try reseting your TCP/IP STACK you can do this easily by following this link

Ok, sorry call me stupid but I am still confused at how when I sign into LIVE it takes me to XBOX LIVE, and the marketplace that sells ONLY XBOX content...Is the XBOX Live the SAME as GFWL???? So.. let me get this straight:
1) I first have to give a credit card signed up to my LIVE(xbox live..er.whatever) account.
2)I follow the steps listed above to obtain the PC DLC.
3)Download the DLC from WITHIN Fallout 3 itself.
I can get as far as the DLC list where it says to redeem points n stuff.. and I have the game installed on G:...ugh..hope it all works... Somtimes, putting add-ons in a box on a store shelf is better...figures the deluxe edition had to come out right after I spent full price on the original.. Please tell me if I sound like I have this figured out. Thx.
