 * When you load up FO3 and you get the pre-game thing (play FO3, uninstall etc.) there should be an option called 'Data files' click that and all the DLCs should be there, make sure there all ticked (by clicking the box), once that's done just load up FO3 and give it a few secs. - RASICTalk 15:56, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, I see this makes sense and I am sure this is the solution. However I have been opening fallout with the "fallout3.exe" and don't get given these options you mentioned the game just opens up straight away and takes me to main menu, should I be launching it with the "Fallout Launcher.exe"? If so I cant open it with the Fallout Launcher so far because it needs disc 1 to be in which it is though my disc drive is struggling to read it which it has trouble with allot of discs lately.

Basically my new question is what file should I be hitting to launch the game so I can select these data files and then launch game?

 * sorry for the late reply I don't get notifications or anything, but you should be opeing Falloutlauncher.exe as that opens the laucher menu which has all the options (play, data files etc.), once the data files have been selected however you won't need to open it though launcher anymore. - RASICTalk 20:30, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
