Yes. I tried to do this, but it still crashes. =\ I even didn't even load so much as oblivion .esm, just opened TES CS, made a new NPC, went to the face tab, clicked a setting. Crashed. And before someone says its just when i create a new NPC, no, its when i edit existing ones too. =\ I don't remember the CS crashing this much... sure, i got Oblivion to crash a lot, but the CS always worked fine for me and did whateve ri wanted it to do years ago. o..0 Anyone know a site where i can downgrade my CS and copy of Oblivion to like 2 years ago? >..>

So, I started playing Oblivion again, haven't in a few years, and I made sure to go ahead and look for all my favorite old mods and of course download the TES construction set, because I don't like Vanilla. Anyway, I start up the set and start tweaking my own little esp file with all my favorite play settings and etc, and i get to the point where I'm creating the NPC companion i always play with. Everything goes fine up until the point i try to edit the face... it opens up the tab in the NPC menu, but doesn't show me a preview. When i click any of the buttons on the face menu (such as age, or hair color) TES CS crashes. Naturally, i just thought it was one of the .esp's or .esm's i had enabled, or one of the replacer textures/meshes in my oblivion folder. So i unistal everything, reinstall just oblivion, not even official DLC, re-install TES CS and open up just oblivion.esm. Still crashes, the exact same way. =\ Bit disappointed in this, because now I can' edit any of the faces/hair of any NPC's. I'm running tes_construction_set_1.2.404 downloaded directly from the official site. My OS is windows 7, and i have tried running TES CS in compatibility mode for windows xp. My computer easily meets any and all of the graphic/cpu/video memory requirements, so it's not that. If anyone knows how i can fix this, or point me to where i can download an old version that is still compatible with a fully up to date and patched version of Oblivion, that''d be outstanding. Other then this, I've experienced no other errors. =\

Sounds like your problem is Vista. =\ Vista is nearly incompatible with every program that was not designed to work ONLY for it. (That's why you see all those pc game boxes in the store that say "Made for Vista" on it.) I absolutely hate Windows Vista in every way something can be hated. If you don't mind doing this, reformat your drive and install windows XP on it. If you want to keep vista, reformat and partition your drive with XP and Vista. I think somewhere around here is a post for getting Morrowind to run in Vista, but its such a bad OS i wouldn't even bother. I prefer Linux myself, I only have a small XP partition for games that only run in windows.

Sounds like you ruined your save for that situation, I'm afraid. Morrowind is not as forgiving and has horrible AI when compared to Oblivion. It's only saveing grace is BloodMoon, none of Oblivions expansions come anywhere CLOSE to as good as BloodMoon. What you might try doing is resetting your Journal entrys for some of those quests so people won't think he's dead, and then your going to have to go into the TES construction set and make a esp that removes that instance of Graring and puts a new one in. This MAY save that save file. However, i strongly suspect that this won't, and you may have to start over.

So, i have a computer with no sound capability at all whatsoever. This doesn't really bother me, i have no qualms about using a system or playing a game without sound. I can play things like Daggerfall, Dragon Lore, Creatures, ect ect without sound just fine, and no errors occur due to failure to open a specific sound file. Morrowind, unfortunately, will not run on my computer because my computer crashes whenever it opens an MP3 file. No, it does not just play it without making any noise, it blatantly crashes. Aborts all open executions and closes them. I want to know if anyone has a way i can open morrowind without it opening any MP3's? Pretty much a way to just play it with all sounds turned off, and i don't mean with just the volume down, i mean so that it doesn't even look into or open the sound files in the directory. The game crashes on startup, after loading, because the title screen opens the music/special/title.mp3 music file. So, i can't just go into options and turns sounds off (though i doubt this would work, it would probably still open them and just play with no sound, which crashes my comp anyway.) I have gone into the config file in the main Morrowind directory and at the line "disable audio-#" i put a 1 (for true.) This, sadly, didn't work. So does anyone have a solution to this? A work around to stop morrowind from opening any MP3's at all. I almost forgot to mention, the reason i do not have any sound capability is because I have no sound card or audio drivers at all whatsoever. So, if someone could fine a way to "ignore" the check the mp3 players make when they open of whether or not you have an audio card, then that would work too. Please don't post something like "get a sound card" or ect ect.
