Don't see your .esp file? Verify that you installed the GECK to the same directory as your retail installation of Fallout 3. The file should have been created in a ''\Data'' sub-directory in that directory. This is where the launcher looks for data files. <br>Under Vista, if you are not running as Administrator, the data file may have been created in a shadow directory (with a name like "\Users\Me\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout3\Data"), where it is visible to the GECK but not to the Fallout3 launcher. You can avoid this by always running the GECK as Administrator. | Don't see your .esp file? Verify that you installed the GECK to the same directory as your retail installation of Fallout 3.
