Thanks for the advice. I'll do that. And yes, laptops aren't very good gaming machines, but I need a laptop to work, so it's my work AND personal computer at once. Hmm, maybe I need to invest in a proper gaming PC.... Something worth thinking about. I wish I was as good at building the right kind of machine as you seem capable of, though :)

You're right. Thanks, Striker879 :) The installation only happened with Disk 1. I had to manually install Disk 2. Why, oh why, didn't the computer ask for Disk 2 while installing in the first place? Who knows. Anyway, now I have the three .esm files (Oblivion, KOTN, and SI), and the game's version is 1.2.0416. Finally.... The game stutters quite a bit, though, so I'm going to add the Unofficial Oblivion Patch and the Unofficial Official Mods Patch to the mix too, just to see what happens. Helps to make the game smoother and less buggy? Sure hope so. The Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch turned every texture of the grounds and hills purple, so I'm guessing it wasn't the right thing to do, and I removed it.

I've had Oblivion GOTY for PC since it came out in 2007. I installed it to my PC, with Win Vista, back in 2008, and it worked fine. DLCs present, patches worked, a ton of mods installed, etc. Now I have a new laptop with Win 7. I installed Oblivion GOTY---but there is no folder for the DLCs (Knights of the Nine and The Shivering Isles)! No files at all seem to exist for them, even though I know they're in the GOTY version and have previously played them with another computer. The game does work, but only the basic vanilla Oblivion. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but the DLCs (KNOTN & SI) aren't there. I have the requisite patches (v. 1.2.0416, UOP, USIP, UOMP) downloaded. But... I imagine there's no use trying them when the DLCs aren't there, am I right? Has this happened to any of you? That the DLCs aren't showing in the file folder or the game load screen where Data Files can be crossed/uncrossed? I basically have nothing there ATM but Oblivion.esm. Is there some kind of fundamental problem with trying to install PC GOTY for Win 7? I seriously don't want to keep uninstalling and reinstalling a hundred times, if it changes/fixes nothing! Anyone? -Summer- P.S. I tried to install the GOTY to my sister's laptop with Win 8, and the same thing happened there: Game works, but no DLCs anywhere.
