I have tried to emphasize this, but it seems you are all ignoring this. You all also seem to be ignoring this: Why are you ignoring these and giving me this "help" that can thrown out just by reading this?

Okay, I see what you mean and I'll try and make this as clear as possible. I have a Retail, Game of the Year Edition of Oblivion installed at "C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion". A have it as a Non-Steam Shortcut by using the "Add a Non-Steam game..." Option in the bottom left corner of the Library Tab of the Steam application. Steam refers to these games as a "Non-Steam Mod or Shortcut". http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7850/steamdetail.jpg Normally, when launching a game (non-Steam or otherwise) through the Steam client, the "Game Overlay UI" is available by using a shortcut key(s), (Default: Shift+Tab) allowing for access to Instant Messaging friends or accessing a web browser without the need to "Alt+Tab" out of the game. My problem is that the "Game Overlay UI" program (GameOverlayUI.exe) does not start, thus not allowing me to use it. Until the recent Steam Update (which made a slight UI change with the Steam client, and allowed for Screenshots to be taken and uploaded via the Game Overlay UI. I have an idea that the problem is caused by OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender), but I have tried removing the obse_loader.exe and it's .dll files associated with it and the "Game Overlay UI" is still not working. Before you jump to the conclusion that the problem lies with the Steam Update, I do not have this problem with my Retail, Collector's Edition of Fallout 3. Also, several days before the Steam update is when I installed OBSE and did not play Oblivion again through Steam until the day of that Update. I am sorry if it seems I am treating you people as "stupid" and such, but I am only trying to be clear and not offensive.

Is there anyone out there that can help?

I am aware of this. What I ment is: I had it as a Non-Steam Game Shortcut.

Since the resent Steam Update, the screenshot uploader, and slight change in UI, I have not been able to access the Game Overlay UI on my retail version of Oblivion. I am unsure why this is. I first suspected it being OBSE but after deleting the files it still doesn't work. I have tried changing the key to something else, Num-Lock, but it still doesn't show. Oblivion is the only game I have that has this issue, my Fallout 3 Retail works fine. My default key for the Overlay, before and after trying Num-Lock, is Scroll Lock.
