fallout 3 for PC crashes on the loading screen when i click new game?

Some instances may be fixed by uninstalling 3rd Party codec packs such as K-Lite or CCCP. idk what this means, will I be able to play it??

Update:

its my first time playing it, I got it off of amazon and downloaded steam...

    I agree with Justin -- go to the Fallout 3 Nexus website and download some of the "unofficial patch" files in order to make the game more playable.

    While I don't know what specifically is causing the crash on load for you, I can definitely tell you that I never had any conflicts between my Fallout 3 install and my CCCP codec pack.

    I had the same problem look it up on youtube or get help from someone on the nexus its happened to me but is this your first time playing it on pc or have you played it before with no problems?

    Ok then get on youtube or nexus and look up something like how to fix fallout 3 on pc or something good luck! Once you get it fixed its totally worth the hassle.Also get on the steam engine ask the people on there!
