HeyYou

Check permissions on your install directory, and also on the My Games\Oblivion directory. Make sure they aren't set to "read only". From what it looks like, it is trying to write to a file, but, is being denied. Gotta be a permissions error. Have you tried right-clicking on OBSE_Loader, and selecting "run as admin"?

Won't work. With our all-volunteer military we have now, we are still running short on soldiers for the field. Programs like "Stop-Loss", and extended tours of duty in warzones was the result. Our soldiers are already suffering from long, multiple deployments, and if we had fewer volunteer soldiers, and the draftee's were not to be deployed overseas.... it would only make the problem worse. Then why don't we stop deploying, minus the international US military bases we have, which is considered US territory. Well, for a time there, we had a couple wars going on..... we are down to one now.... more or less.... Quite frankly, I am of the opinion that we shouldn't have been in either country in any event. Iraq was not a threat, and we went to war based on lies, manipulation, and false information. We went to afghanistan ostensibly to get one guy.... but, seemed we enjoyed overthrowing legitimate governments so much, we wanted to do it again. Or, at least, some folks in government wanted to. The US needs to STOP playing at world police. We simply can't afford it, and honestly, we suck at it. Iraq is degenerating into a sectarian civil war..... and once we pull out of Afghanistan, it will go right back to what it was when we left..... with the addition of once again being the worlds largest exporter of opium.

You can take a page out of some nut-job christians doom-saying handbook, and start a "fund" for "helping others after the fact", then, when it doesn't happen, retire on the proceeds. :D Regarding the nut-job Christians... Let's just not go there. Thanks. - Vagrant0

Try disabling any anti-malware apps running in the background before you play. If that makes ya nervous, disconnect from the net first. See if that doesn't help. If that doesn't work, might try posting in the OBSE thread on the official forums.

The exception code is a generic memory error. Probably some background task conflicting with the CS.

You are giving too much credit to politicians for "forward thinking".... They don't do that trick. I would also contend that when the demand for oil wanes, and all those countries whose very societies depend on that income start feeling the crunch, things are gonna get ugly as they start competing for the few remaining resources left..... I DO agree that we need to find alternatives to our oil-based economy...... unfortunately, our biggest demand for oil is in the transportation sector, and there just isn't a good alternative yet.

Lol, the only 'due course' on the battlefield is projectile velocity. Though my original question had more to due with abrogation of constitutional rights and where that begins and ends. I am never comfortable with infringements of the constitution for expedience sake. If they were inside they country then normal due process of arrest and trial could take place. I would be more comfortable with a judicial process of stripping them of their citizenship expeditiously before targeting them in the field. You look good in green. :) I can see your point.... but, on the battlefield, you don't verify folks credentials/citizenship/whathaveyou before defending yourself, and removing a threat. Granted, given some of the stuff that has managed to find its way into law, I could be declared a terrorist, and they could send a drone with a missile with my name on it tomorrow.... Not like I am a staunch supporter of our government. :) Granted, I haven't advocated violent overthrow of same for a while now...... What we are currently involved in is probably about as "unconventional" as war gets... the 'enemy' isn't in uniform, doesn't have a specific location, or much of anything else really... they blend with the residents of whatever location they happen to be in...... and then get all up in arms when civilians are killed, because we were targeting the terrorists..... Quite frankly, I don't think it's a war we can win with guns/bombs/missiles in any event..... Maybe I was not clear enough, on the ground in a firefight shoot first and check passports later. What I was talking about is using a drone to go after a specific target that we know is an American citizen before launch of a hellfire. In other words, the citizen was the primary objective from the moment the predator took to the air, not collateral damage. Yeah, there is that minor "foreknowledge" deal...... But, what ya gonna do? Wait a month or more for authorization to work its way thru the system? At which point, said citizen is highly likely to be elsewhere... I suppose, if you had a 'target list'..... which I am sure we do..... getting some flavor of apprehend if possible/kill otherwise... order would be acceptable?? Yes I could live with that as long as apprehend was considered seriously and not just a pro forma box to be checked off while the missile was going downrange. . :D You know that's basically what it would boil down to..... Missiles are cheap when compared to the time, effort, and money invested in our special forces, which would more than likely be the ones sent in to apprehend the subject...... I note that we didn't even bother trying to arrest Osama. They killed him as soon as they saw him. (which I just don't really have a problem with...) Granted, he wasn't an american citizen.....

Drones in US airspace? Ok, so, how is that any different than cops using airplanes to catch speeders? Or using "oblique imagery" for assessing taxes/violations of local ordinances??? As for the topic at hand...... As soon as I read "ACLU"..... I figured this whole deal was going to be nothing but an attention grabber to boost fund-raising for various odd organizations. In my view, if you are deemed a 'terrorist', are hanging out with known terrorists, we have evidence that you have been complicit in attacks, or attempted attacks...... and given that we are conducting a "war on terror"..... That makes you an enemy combatant, and there is no 'due course' on the battlefield.

Well if ever there is a decision to nominate a President or whatever other title could be dreamt up for someone on the Debates Forum then I'd definitely vote for Aurelius ... never has a greater truth been spoken here. Having said that, many a time people don't read each other's posts ... they simply make up some clueless response based on the way they currently feel ... you can actually see the tangent ... it's unreal. I have chosen not to respond to most of them. Though my life viewpoints tend to lean very heavily to one side of the "Us and Them" attitude that prevails here, I am a firecely independent ... and so get bashed from both sides ... just one of those things. I do not believe in "co-dependancy" I believe in respect ... and if people here respect each other despite their obvious differences then there wouldn't even have been a need for this specific topic. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. George Orwell But that does not mean that you can say what you want to ... liberty does not mean unrestraint, there is a difference ... unfortunately, some are blind to that fact, and so they trip over the law here and get banned. So, does the Debates Forum need to be Moderated ? Yes, because some choose to ignore the fact that freedom's middle name is respect. I think a lot of what folks are viewing as "the issues" here, are simply because of the diverse nature of the posters in this forum. We have folks from all over the world, ranging in age from 13 to 60+. Not only do we have nationality differences, we also have generational differences. Certainly adds some spice to life, don't it. :D

It's dead Jim........ I am going to guess the answer to the question at hand is the same one that the bulk of those that voted for/against it is. A resounding No. The republicans didn't like it, simply because it was brought up by the dems. A selection of dems didn't like it because of the individual mandate, or, the lack of a public option. What we got was a compromise that did nothing toward it's intended purpose, which was Reduce the cost of health CARE. This 'law' completely missed the mark on that one. It is also going to fail in the rest of it goals. Insurance is going to get more expensive, because that is simply what it does. Have a look at the last decade... even when employment was good... Health care went up 48%, inflation was only 26%. You cannot legislate away the law of supply and demand. Supply has been getting thinner. Demand has been getting stronger. With all the new folks back on the insurance roles, demand is going to spike. Supply isn't going to. So, you will pay more, for less, of an inferior product. Just what we always wanted.....

And here I thought the idea was to Kill Your Enemies.... not provide them with necessary revenue so they can continue to fight you, in the hopes that they will use some of that ordinance on their own folks..... I still think its stupid. :D

Soldiers ARE resources, and a precious one at that. One that should be conserved whenever possible. It just isn't always possible. One of the rules of war is: Men Die.

Quite frankly, in this day and age, the wiki definition is more accurate...... Today, NO troops are considered "merely material" in any sense. War has progressed far beyond that. NONE of the high tech machinery we use today would be worth a tinkers dam without the men to run it. You can TAKE territory with air power, but, in order to HOLD it, you need boots on the ground. Without the foot soldier, war would be simply senseless slaughter.

Have any earlier saves? Relying on just one, and constantly overwriting it is not without peril in beth games. They are notorious for corrupting them.....

In the middle east, the definition of "ally" is rather mutable as well...... some of our allies are also our enemies... saves time keeping track of them that way I suppose. Not to mention that we are PAYING our enemies not to attack our convoys, so that our supplies can get thru...... and of course, they use that money to purchase more weapons with which to fight us....... How is that in any way a good idea??

Try playing without the stutter remover.

The 5450 will run the game, but, probably not as well as you would like. That's a mid-level business class card, not a gaming card.

Is the loader and the dll file in the Oblivion folder? (not data folder)

DRM is completely useless, and a waste of the game developers money. All it accomplishes is alienating its paying customer base with games that they either cannot get to run, or, interferes with the operation of various bits of hardware. In all reality, I would wager that DRM is responsible for MORE folks pirating games, than if there hadn't been any to begin with. After all, the pirates don't have the issues the paying customers do. Nice huh?

If you find it, please let me know.....

Not a fan of IE myself...... I use firefox.
