Tilde console not working : Fallout: New Vegas

I reformatted my computer, reinstalled NV and Steam, waited 2 1/2 hours for a download, started the game. Tilde/command console not working.

I'd check to see if there are IR drivers active on the system those disable the console

Thanks. What are IR drivers?

I'm on a desktop with no infrared, if that's what IR is. I'm on Win XP.

On top of that, I "thought" I installed the DVD on my computer, but I cannot find it there.

about the console problem;
i'm not on a wide screen monitor, press tilde then tab a few times see if it magically appears, offline with steam?

Check you fallout.ini file (I think there's a fallout_perfs.ini as well). There should be a line containing this phrase "allowconsole=" if you can't find it just search for "console." If that line is set to 0, change it to 1.

Been there. It's set to 1 in both those files.

Reinstalled entire game, still no console command appears with tilde.....plus FNV DVD didn't install on my computer. Where is it?
