Fallout: New Vegas runs fine, but Fallout 3 crashes every time I start it up, any advice as to why this is?
Post Body

So I bought both fallout games a while back and I got hooked on New Vegas for a while. I recently decided to try Fallout 3 as well, but for some reason it keeps crashing. It lets me start the game, go to the main menu, but when I press New Game it loads for a few seconds, then crashes. I've tried it 10 times or so with no luck, it crashes every time.

Here is an album of screenshots of my DxDiag. As you can see my laptop isn't anything fancy, but it can run most games pretty well at lower settings which I don't mind. My only real concern is I have no idea why New Vegas would run smoothly but Fallout 3 crashes on startup. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
