At this point i'm totally humbled, I thought I could do this type of thing with impunity (because most of time I would see only performance boost's; faster boot time's, and fps increase's). Initially, my laptop only had 7-8GB of Ram for free use, later on 12, then 13, then 14 (over the course of'a year)... I think the 14 part maybe what's causing the problem's. Will work from there and try to keep ya updated.

Hmmm... This'll be a'bit short (Really tired, so please don't be too cross with me) but what I notice between my brightness/colour incorrect laptop vs the Two other laptop's which has appropriate colour setting's.(1-mine, 1 uncle's) is that they both have 'Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework' service enabled, while the one with the problem has it disabled. May that be the issue? I'm going to try to enable the thing again but before doing that, I'd like to hear your thought's.

Hmmm? No OBGE or any Graphic's extender's for either game. The mod's (Oblivion). -Aetheric CuteBlade -Jojjo's Drake Knight Armour and Weapon set. -OBSE -DMC Stylish (Non-.esp version) -Fast Exit 2 -OSR That's really it for Oblivion. For Skyrim, no animation mod or graphic's mod's. All of them are just Armour and Weapon mod's. But they're far too numerous to list. Y'know this's really funny, there are mods that can enrich the colour and deepen the shadow's of the game, but with a few simple change's to the in-game graphical setting's you can get some of the Visual's generated by visual enhancing mod's, not saying to be mean. Just thinking aloud is all.

I can assure you that my laptop can run Oblivion. But here's something that's really strange, I don't think it's Oblivion, but Skyrim(Has never been uninstalled) as-well, both have the wrong level of Brightness for setting's I've made in-game and out. However, when it come's to Borderland's 2, the change's in for setting's in Gamma, Brightness and Contrast seem to apply. Before, borderland's also seemed washed out, but after applying my new Nvidia Desktop setting's. The game became more vibrant and rich in colour's, when it's daytime in the game. Colour stand out as they should, when dark, it's appropriately dark, where-as the game prior to my recent desktop setting change's, colour was also washed out (in comparison, didn't really notice before, seeing the game was still colourful in either setting's, noticed the difference after making the adjustment's) I'm wondering if it's a problem with the script extender's running for both game's on my computer, I mean, I've disabled a lot of thing's in the MSCONFIG utility, same with mine uncle's laptop, but with a few exception's. Think I should start from there?

Doesn't seem to be the case, the "bFullBrightLighting" script line is at the 0 value... Hmm, on another note, I did experience something strange this morning after doing the maintenance process I let my laptop finish over-night. Yesterday I tried to change the colour setting's of my game through the Nvidia Control Panel utility. The option I used to do this was the "Adjust Desktop Color Setting's" I managed to brighten up my desktop through the Brightness and Contrast setting's (both are set at "45") and changing the Gamma from it's original setting of "1.00" to ".63" screen color was less washed out, and was at a fair brightness level (The user-interface for the launcher became darker, but the game's colour and brightness setting still seemed a little too bright and colouration washed out), however, when I started up my laptop again, the colour setting's I had made didn't seem to take affect, colour was slightly washed out again. I checked the Nvidia desktop colour control again, my setting's were saved, but they seemed to have not taken effect, I dialed down the gamma slider, and it immediately went to the dark colour again as opposed to the light-colour it was on, I only dialed down to point .60 and it looked like I had been dialing from the 1.00 setting to .60 instead, even though it was already .63. I also forgot to metion this, but when my uncle's laptop goes to the Oblivion Title Screen, it's bright at first, but when the title "Rest's" on the screen it become's dark, but when my title screen come's up, it's somewhat dark. and when I try to move the slider down on the "Brightness" option it flare's up even brighter, my lowest setting's for brightness, are my uncle's laptop medium "Brightness" setting's. It's really odd... If you've anymore help to spare, I will gladly accept it. Thank's in Advance.

Will do, thank's fellow. I will make sure to post my result's as soon as I change that bit of script there.

Recently, re-installed my Steam Copy of "Oblivion GOTY", this time however the visual's seem a'bit off. My last installation (which went bad after playing for 4 month's on it, the game wouldn't even load-up!) allowed me to adjust the "Brightness" setting's of the game, which produced rich colour's and dark shadow's (dark to a point where I would need a torch or light-spell to see) and brought a greater level of immersion that i'm trying to emulate again, but unsuccessful at doing because of god know's what. So here's my problem, when I launch the game and reach the Title Screen, a certain level of Brightness/Darkness would be set, but when I try to adjust the brightness slighter down, the game's brightness flare's up to a even brighter level (Even though I've been setting the slider down), and when I set the brightness level on lowest, it's still brighter than the initial setting's. The only way to reset it is to set the slider value's back to the center (and I mean CENTER, if the slider is even one bit off, the setting won't reset, the title screen when it's coming up will look like the original brightness, but after the title is on screen it'll just flare up again.) I noticed this difference when using my laptop and that of my uncle's, when I launch the with my uncle's laptop, everything from the User-Interface down to the in-game colour is dark and saturated, when using mine, colour is slightly off, shadow's aren't as dark and colour seem's a'little washed out. If anyone here has an answer to my problem, please feel free to leave an answer. Thank's in Advance.

Recently, I've been trying to download a armor mod for Skyrim. This particular mod known as the "Chinese General Armor" has timed out at certain point's of my download session. The download would stutter and eventually freeze at 1-15 megabyte's and it would seem like it has "Completed" while it is in actuality, only downloaded partway. My web-browser is "Google Chrome" and I've never experienced a problem such as this downloading other mod's as I have with this one. If anyone/anybody can help me with this problem, i'd be grateful. Any help is appreciated and also become's the benefit of those reading this post looking for answer's for a problem similar to my own. Thank You in Advance ~ArcturusFyr

Goodness, I even attracted a staff member :P. But in all seriousness, I was hoping that i'd wouldn't have to do all those things, still, good stuff. Has this been happening lately though? I've used Skyrim Nexus many times and haven't encountered such a thing like this. I suppose I did make a record however, 6-7 months without a Virus until now. All good things must end at some point I suppose. Anyway, to those whom had replied, I Thank You. Please feel free to post more if you think you also have advice to add.

Thank You in Advance to all.

Part 2: was a "ok" button, didn't click that, started up task manager, went to Applications, even the application was titled like the website, this one I remember a bit more clearly "Alert! several viruses detected on your computer, scan now!" or something like it, closed it with task manager, disable internet, went to "History" cleared it out, used ccleaner to clean registry and internet files, did disk clean up, went to actual temp folder and cleared it out, used malware bytes free edition, a few moments later moments later I also decided to completely unplug my modem during the scan process, at the eleventh minute of scanning. eset nod 32 started to act up up and show a red box that said programs/win32/risky, virus or something like it, malware bytes had found nothing, but that's because the virus had been quarantined before malware bytes got to it event said it was cleaned, I found it in quarantine and deleted it (I know, pretty stupid right? Was shocked by what had happened to much think clearly) look at my eset not 32 "statistics" chart of Antivirus and Realtime both found 3 infected objects and 1 cleaned. This had never happened to me before, have the latest edition of java, eset nod 32 should have latest definitions, browser is also fully updated, firewall was on cleaned out registry before going on internet(ccleaner). Please post your thoughts, experiences and advice on this matter.

Today on the 2nd of July while I was finding mod's to download on Skyrim Nexus, something rather peculiar happened. After downloading over or exactly half a dozen mods, I began to view another file, or rather tried, the mod that had my interest was the Skyrim Dragon Priest Armor for Males and Females (not sure if the title is entirely correct), at first the page wouldn't load up, instead a white background came up saying something about not being able to load the page, it was different however, to the Google Chrome "oops!, link appears to be broken/not working, please try again" error that i'd at times get. The font of the message on the error page was big and had two buttons below the message one I think was "reboot page" or something the other 'Technical" or "Technician". I paid no mind the buttons and pressed the back button from my browser (Google Chrome) to the page with the title of the mod shown, clicked on the file again, page showed up correctly this time. saw the picture of the mod (old man wearing dragon priest armor shooting lightning from hands or a staff) all of sudden the page with mod I was gone vanished, and replacing was a empty page (white) in the center however was a small prompt/window the top part of it saying something like "queermalwarescanprocessesfound" or something along those lines, the url was pretty similar as-well. inside the little box was the message "Several viruses have been found!" System at risk! use the queer system virus scan!" or what-not, bottom of the prompt
