Well, I have not done archive invalidation validated or whatever that is, but I use boss almost everytime I play, mainly cuz I like pushing the button LOL!! But I have it installed in my documents, so I don't have problems with the UAC but I am still getting my but kicked by this deal. Thanks all. Tom Long I may very well use that guide and give her hell once again, Simon

I would consider myself well versed in installing mods, to say the least, but I cannot figure this one out, everytime I install a new mod, there is always a missing mesh!!! Thinking about doing a clean install and giving FCOM hell one more time, as I have never been able to get that to work properly either. Well, any ideas?? Here is my mod list in the order the mods are loaded.

Well, looking into upgrading. And was curious as to how many of you use multiple displays, and what you think about them if you do, or if you don't.

Doing some research for a new computer and am just curious as to what you guys think, how does oblivion run on a windows 7 64 bit operating system work? Thanks Simon (mistake, title should say does oblivion work)

Mainboard : Unspecified GA-K8NF-9 Chipset : nVidia nForce4 Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ @ 2200 MHz Physical Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR-SDRAM ) Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO Hard Disk : WDC (200 GB) Hard Disk : WD (160 GB) DVD-Rom Drive : SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615 DVD-Rom Drive : _NEC DVD_RW ND-3550A Monitor Type : ViewSonic VX924 - 19 inches Network Card : Ralink Technology Corp Ralink RT2500 802.11 CardBus Reference Card Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RT8139 (A/B/C/810x/813x/C+) Fast Ethernet Adapter Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3 DirectX : Version 9.0c (May 2008) I don't know if this will help or not, but here ya go.

It had 2 SLI 7900 GT/ GTO's is how it was but then I switched over one card to the top to see if it was the card going out, and it still did it, but just now I started the game and it worked just fine, but it didn't like 4 hours ago. So yeah, I am needless to say confused, and the best part it is that it worked and ran then I loaded my game and had the original problem of a CTD on fast travel to Weynon prairie so I have to deal with that issue, once I get this one all figured out. How well does oblivion run for you with your 7950? Simon P.S. once again, I really appreciate all of you guy's help.

It's a flat screen LCD type of deal, and I plan on upgrading a couple things such a psu, gpu and new/more ram all at once, and was just curious what you guys thought, and I was only going to do that if a---- I get the job I am applying for next week, And b if it is actually the graphics card. But I appreciate the reply about the tube monitor, something to keep in mind for possible future troubles Simon

hey Illiad how do you like the 7950 GT? What kind of FPS do you get outside, and inside? Thanks.

So I was playing oblivion and everything was fine, and than I shut it down, and did some research on the computer and went to play again and it did this I don't know what's going on as I am not a computer wiz so I was hoping someone around here might be able to help. If it is the graphics card can somebody give me a recomendation for a good video card? Nvidia would be great. As I think that is what I have to use with this mother board. oh and I only have a 450 power supply, (weak I know). Thanks, Simon

So I just played oblivion for 2 solid hours, and then had a CTD ( total immersion killer, lol) and being as I am an xbox chump I come to you PC masters, to ask whether or not CTD's are just a fact of life, or if I need to look into possibly having mod conflicts? I also read somewhere just now ( after CTD) that if you have autosave enabled that it will cause problems. True or false? If so should I also disable stream save? Thanks again for all the help. Simon

Ok here is a link and I am just curious what you guys think are the pro's and con's of a buy like this. I am apprehensive on building a computer. I do not know what it is but I can tear apart and work on cars, but the thought of doing that with a computer frankly scares me a little. Lol. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16883227188 thanks again Simon

I am trying to get some people's opinions on what the best computer out there is, for someone on a budget, say less that 1200 dollars, that you could go out and buy from the store, and that would be able to run oblivion, full modded, with mods the like of Qarl's retexture pack 3 and not have any problems as far as FPS. Would a low end Ailenware be the way to go? For instance I saw one today for under 1200, What are your thoughts, Thank you Simon

Ok, so I am just going to post my mod list, and I am curious as to what all of you think it should entail, and whether I am missing something, and also for some of you FCOM people, if you could tell me if I actually have FCOM activated or not, as I am not 100 percent sure. I am sure that I run into different creatures in oblivion on the modded PC than on the xbox 360 so I guess I probably do, but I just want an subject matter experts opinion. Any help is greatly appreciated, and this is an awesome website with a lot of good people.

Ok, So I am big into player homes, and I saw one about a month ago before I had a computer that could run oblivion, that had an immense armory, and I remmember the pictures showing rows upon rows of Glass swords, if anyone has seen this, or can give me a link and help me find it, that would be much appreciated. Simon

Wow, that is really all I can say. At this point, I am not a modder, just someone that uses mods, and that, right there, is the Mod that I want, at this time, and I have downloaded and walked through probably 10 different castles, basically every castle on oblivionsrealestate.com, that one, by far looks the best, you are doing absolutely wonderful, and I am eager to see a beta, or even the finished project in the future. Simon

:ohmy: sweet

loving the name, sword looks awesome. This is what I would do, which is not very original of course, but i think some elvish writing or some runes or something on the two seperate sides, like one rune that meant fire, and one that meant ice, or something like that, just an idea for you. Keep up the good work, looks really cool.
