It has nothing to do with systems specs. I build my computer not too long ago with a hefty price. Especially for a game that is 4-5 years old. I'm just not doing something right. Hopefully someone will see the steps I went through and help me trouble shoot.
Here it is again:
Okay, so in downloads, I didn't double click the .dll file, but dragged it to windows, open the F03 folder and dropped it in there. It shows as a DLL file, not as an application extension. I ran the game. At first I couldn't even pass the birth, but now I've passed the create name and character, heard the mother go through a cardiac arrest and seen the father encourage the child to walk up to him and then it freezes? Any suggestions?
These are the things I've done:
1. Changed bUseThreadedAI=1 and added iNumHWThreads=2. (I only have a duel core, i3-2120 so it's not a quad core issue.)
2. Added d3d9.dll to Fallout folder which appears as a DLL file type
3. In the game options, change all auto saves to off.
4. Added 1.7 Patch:

5. Turned off antialiasing and anisotropic filtering.
6. Clicked on Compatibility and clicked on check box that says Windows XP pack 3
