Drevin over at the official forums (and Skotte here at the Nexus Forums) points people to a patch on the SecuROM site along with these helpful pointers:
Only use this patch if you are getting an unwarranted securom emulation error! This will not fix any other issue.
Edit: Making it clear.
To Install
1- Right click on your DVD drive and select explore.
2- Double click on the setup.exe located in the DVD folder you just opened.
3- Follow install instructions.
To install the patch
1- Backup your old FalloutLauncher.exe by renaming it to FalloutLauncher.exe.old (located in the Fallout 3 folder)
2- Copy the new FalloutLauncher.exe in to place.
3- Launch the game form the new FalloutLauncher.exe (The patch won't work if you try to launch from either the Fallou3.exe or the DVD-Rom)
4- Play the game.

Why the hell are they blaming PC users? And it doesn't make sense to have drm anyway since its always cracked and the pirated versions have the DRM removed. So all it does is hurt legitimate customers
Oh wait.
I guess it's dependent on your machine.
