I'll have to. My craptop runs vista... I hate vista, such a hassle. Don't know what I'm going to get yet. Still looking around for what best suits me.

It worked!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

and that's ok lol

I tried finding that but couldn't, do you have a link?

I didn't have a chance to fully read through the page you sent me yet, I uninstalled oblivion though and tried to reinstall under a different location. It now crashes at start-up. So I uninstalled and reinstalled to default location, same thing, crashes at start up. I really don't know what else I'm supposed to do. I feel like everything I'm doing is making it worse.

@bben46 Again, Island is not there, but it's checked in data files (and in OBMM). @Striker879 I'm not sure what you mean by "sorrow"?

The only patch I installed was the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch. And I know that the quest is supposed to pop up. I beat the game on PS3. I'll uninstall it and reinstall it to the games file like you suggested and see if that helps. Also I did not install any quest delay mods.

It causes it to crash. I thought that maybe I didn't install it correctly, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it under admin. and nothing, same thing. I ran a conflict report and it says everything conflicts, when I uncheck the patch, everything's fine. And I still can't play shivering Isles.

Yes, it was the unofficial patch, and no it gave me no warning. When I was looking for the fix for my problem...that's all I could find as a possible solution.

I have GOTY Oblivion for my pc. I had it installed and played it for a while. I tried to mod on my own and it didn't work so I deleted everything and uninstalled oblivion. I reinstalled oblivion installed my mods, tested that they worked, installed shivering isles and began to play. I played for a whole before I realized that I never got the quest start for Shivering Isles. I got out of the prison, went straight to the arena and finished that whole quest line before I realized that it never came up. I went to Anvil to see if the preacher was there for the Knights of the Nine and he was. So I went out of the game and installed the shivering isles patch. The patch causes my game to crash. So I went back in without the patch activated to see if the island was there. It's not. I tried deleting all the shivering Isles and Knights of the nine files and reinstalling it, but that doesn't work either. Since I have Vista, I couldn't open control to see if I could type in a code I found online that jump starts the quest (setstage se01door 10). So I downloaded a mod I found for that called Ring of Control (or of the God's or something like that), that when equipped on the played opens up control. That didn't work (in the inventory screen or trying to hotkey it). I don't want to have to uninstall oblivion and reinstall it all over again. Is that my only option to uninstall and reinstall all everything?
