I swear if life had something like that, I'd kill myself. I'd go to take a crap and someone would pop out of nowhere and ask, "A bodily function or program that can affect other users of this body needs your permission to start. Check the name of the action to ensure that it's a function or program you want to run."
... That happens to me sometimes...
Maybe not the exact wording, but yeah... :sad:

It sounds like IC got cut off from the rest of the worldspace to me...
No idea how to fix it, try re-installing the mod - hopefully it'll work.

Right click on the OMOD opening thing, and click Run as Administator, that will let you have full functions.
Ah!
Stupid me.
I'll attempt the un-installation tomorrow when I've got my pluck back.

First off, as stated above, you need to reinstall Oblivion outside of Program Files, because the security there will attack things like mods because it thinks they are viruses or hacking attacks on the computer. You can put Oblivion wherever you like. My copy is in:
C: Games\Oblivion\Data.
Fine, forgive my insolence on the subject, but what would be the best way to go about this?
Do I actually uninstall the game and reinstall it in a different area than it was (how?)
Can I simply copy and paste the files/move them to a different location instead of going through an installation process?
Oblivion Mod Manager is a great launcher, but personally don't use OMODs much. Everyone says they are great, but it sounds to me like it makes it so the modders and the gamers have to learn a bunch of new stuff instead of spending their time playing and modding the game. That sounds like less enjoyment rather than more enjoyment. If you like that sort of program, go for it! Otherwise, I suggest that you install all the non-OMOD downloads as non-OMODs and install all the OMODs as OMODs. Just basically install things in the form you downloaded them in. This allows you to follow the installation instructions in the readme files, and prevents you from tinkering with things and breaking them by accident if you are not highly skilled.I downloaded OMM in anticipation some time ago after reading a basic article on this subject, but I get this warning message every time I open it that makes me wonder if I even have what I need.

I'd do what it tells me, but I don't remember where I stuck the OMM files away in.
Even if I found them I'm not sure if I'd understand any of the technical jargin within.
I've also downloaded two mods in anticipation and in an attempt to figure out how to use OMM.
During my first try I set the mods and the information, data, meshes, etc. in folders and attempted to open them/activate them with OMM which didn't work.
Second try I downloaded a mod with 7-zip and got a file type that isn't even recognized by my computer, despite the fact that I now have 7zip and should be able to read a 7z file.
This is migraine inducing.

My first encounter with Umbra.
I'd made a new character; and argonian stealth guy.
I was walking around looking for gold and such, trying to hone my skills when I accidentally stumbled on the ruins where she was.
I didn't even know she was there.
I tried to kill her at first, but was unable to effect her, so I turned it down to easy.
Still couldn't scratch her.
Turned it back up to where it was before and ran around the gas things.
She chased me for a couple of hours (I think) before she succumbed to poisoning.
I was freaking out the whole time, because just two hits from her would half my characters health.
Was amazingly funny afterwards.

Wow!
that effect performance at all?

Yeah, I know these kinds of "OH GOD HELP I CAN:T FIGURE THIS OUT" threads are irritating and far to common, but just hear me out, I'm in a sticky fix.
I've had Oblivion for around three years now, and I play it on and off at random intervals.
Vanilla has kept me reasonably entertained for that time, but any time I visit the nexus, I get discouraged almost instantly.
Why, you ask?
Because I have a vista.
I'm in no way tech savvy and vistas got it's files in weird places compared to other processing systems.
I have absolutely no idea at all how to get a mod into my game, where to copy it to, or what I need to do to get it to function.
I'd be eternally indebted to anyone who can give me a step by step procedure and make my moding experience possible,
Thanks.

Many mods don't need to let you use the console unless you've got settings to change or you have to skip stages in a quest for some reason. Basically you can live without a console!
It think it's vista related, but anyways..have you tried the Ring of Console yet?
Awesome to hear!
I haven't tried a single mod at all, so no, I've not used Ring of Console.
Thanks a bunch.

Hello, all.
I'm about to start my moddong of Oblivion in the near future.
However, I've noticed something that bugs the living crap out of me.
I am unable to "enter commands" via the use of the "~" button.
The ~ key is unresponsive, and I have some questions about it.
1: How do I fix it?
2: Will it conflict with getting any mods?
3: Will it hamper my in game experience while using a mod?
4: Will this conflict with Shivering Isles once I've installed it?
5: Will installing SI's fix the issue?
I should mention that I once used this same copy of Oblivion on another computer, which did allow me to enter commands by pressing the "~" key.
A final question, that has also been annoying me as of late:
How to I minimise the game's full screen window?
Thanks for your time, stop killing the crabs.
How do I download, install, and apply mods with a vista?
