As an "it might help" step, take a look at the properties for each of the obse dlls that you have (right click on each of the files from the file explorer window). At the bottom of the General page, look for a "This file blocked..." message and an Unblock button. If you see it, unblock the files. I had that thought too. No change. Let me ask this instead...I didn't notice OBSE mentioned in the FCOM install guide. I would have thought such a massive overhaul would require it and I've been hesitant to start installing it before working out my problem with OBSE. Is it really not required? Could I possibly get by without it?

Interesting we may be on to something here 1 - who installed OBSE for you 2 - we know you didn't do it yourself, because it doesn't install to the Data folder and you would remember that 3 - something is happening, therefore its not installed into the data folder by mistake - as you have found out 4 - who re-installed OBSE for you - you re-installed and you are still getting the injection error - or are you re-reading the same old error file 5 - just for fun, are you using the Direct2drive version of the game - would explain quite alot 6 - being thorough - are you using the Steam version of the game I installed it. Installed Oblivion and copied the three little OBSE files all on my own. No, those three files are not in the Data folder, they are in the Oblivion folder. And no, I'm not re-reading the same old error file; attempting to run obse_loader.exe right now as I type this still spits back "Couldn't inject dll." No, I'm not using the D2D or Steam version of the game. 2 disk GOTY Edition, fully patched of course. I've done this before. I had it working just fine when I still had Vista. Its only now that problems arise. I simply don't remember if there was an OBSE subfolder or not...its been months since I saw my previously modded Oblivion folder.

Ok, I've tried doing the clean reinstall and that didn't solve the issue. I tried disabling the security on my computer (Windows Firewall, AVG Anti-Virus, Spotbot, UAC) and it won't work. I've tried installing it to the alternative directory (C:\Games\Oblivion) and it still won't work (though that was never a problem for me in the first place). Every time its the same damn error message; "Couldn't inject dll." Two additional things I've noticed....rarely, RARELY it will work if I launch the game through OBMM. Never directly from obse_loader.exe, however. I also found an obse.txt in addition to the obse_loader.txt I mentioned in my original post. It reads: "OBSE: initialize (version = 18.6 010201A0) oblivion root = C:\Games\Oblivion\ plugin directory = C:\Games\Oblivion\Data\OBSE\Plugins\ patched OBSE: deinitialize" Looking at my Data folder I don't see a subfolder for OBSE. Either its hidden or that could be the problem. I don't know, I'm completely out of ideas here. It simply refuses to work. EDIT: Looking at the Data folder with hidden items shown, there is no OBSE subfolder. Again, don't know if that matters or not. Just trying to think of anything.

No effect. The same error message pops up. Partly shameless self bump. This problem is infuriating. I'm attempting to install FCOM this time around but hell...if OBSE is giving me this much trouble, I might want to just give up.

Greetings. I recently decided to reinstall Oblivion after formatting my hard drive and upgrading from Vista to Windows 7. I had Oblivion heavily modded and working perfectly with Vista, but now I can't even get OBSE to work and I can't figure out why. The only difference I can think of is Windows 7 and I recently installed Spybot after my computer caught a nasty virus. I've tried disabling Spybot and it doesn't help. And I can't FATHOM that an application would work better on Vista than on 7. I've tried running the obse_loader as administrator, I've tried running it in compatibility mode, I've tried installing it (Oblivion) directly to C:, I've tried turning off my anti-virus and whatnot, I've read through the readme.txt several times and checked the official OBSE website and cannot find a solution. If it helps, I find this .txt in my Oblivion folder after the game fails to launch: crc = 7934C86C dll = C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\obse_1_2_416.dll hookBase = 001D0000 loadLibraryAAddr = 75EC4BC6 Process::InstallHook: waiting for thread = WAIT_TIMEOUT Couldn't inject dll. terminating oblivion process I'm no expert computer tech and this doesn't mean a whole lot to me. But this isn't my first time modding, and I'm sure I've covered all the would-be simple fixes. If anyone has any insight into what my problem might be it would be greatly appreciated.
