Problem #1 : Fallout 3 crashing / Fallout 3 crash to desktop (ctd) | Fallout 3 crashing at the start of the game
Solution : (from Bethesda website)
1. Click Start
2. Click “All Programs” (or just Programs, depending on the version of Windows, whether they’re using “classic,” etc.)
3. Go to the ffdshow folder.
4. Click “Audio decoder configuration.”
5. In the left hand pane, click “Info & debug.” This is the second entry in the list.
6. In the right hand pane, near the bottom, find a check box labelled “Don’t use ffdshow in:”
7. Check that box, and in the text box underneath (it lights up when you check the check box), add “fallout3.exe” (don’t include the quotes). If there is already something in that box, put a semi-colon ( ; ) after what’s already there, and fallout3.exe after that. Do NOT use spaces, since ffdshow will think that’s part of the filename. A valid entry would be “explorer.exe;fallout3.exe” (without quotes).
8. Finally, click “Ok” and start Fallout 3.

Problem #2 : Fallout 3 Freezing randomly in the game, sometimes permanently.
Solution : Try the solution listed above for problem #1

Problem #3 : Fallout 3 freezing when taking the goat (PS3)
Solution : (from gamespy)
For the Fallout 3 GOAT freeze workaround: make a save, quit to the main menu and reload the save. The game should resume normally

Problem #4 : Fallout 3 installation errors (PC)
Solution :

Problem #5 : VATS inaccessible. R2 not opening up VATS menu (PS3)
Solution : (as posted by Shoeless)

The Fallout 3 may not be able to recognize the Dualshock 3 controller (DS3). Disable the DS3 and enable the classic 6-axis controller. Turn them off again and re-enable the Dual Shock 3 and the controls should work properly
