Do you have an infrared remote receiver active? Unplug it while you're playing oblivion, then. If not, make sure your oblivion.ini in your games folder has the line bAllowConsole=1 (not 0) No guarantees of course, but somewhere to start.
iaa05 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 yer...did all that... and i have just tried remapping the keys. nothing worked i think it is something to with it being a laptop.can anyone validate that?
nosisab Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 if you have the console enabled in the ini, the key you want is whatever is above the TAB one, most of times the key at the left of the 1.
iaa05 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 i have checked the ini file. there is no reference to the console. i am looking in the file named oblivion_defult. oh and the keyboard is brittish but i thoaght the fact that it is a laptop and the keyboard is more compact. would that have anything to do with it?

Wrong one. Check my first reply, where I said make sure your oblivion.ini in your games folder has the line bAllowConsole=1 Not your Bethesda\Oblivion folder , but your Games folder, usually in your personal documents folder (in XP "My Documents\My Games", in Vista "Users\user\documents\games" I believe.) The document is named "Oblivion.ini", and it's a good idea to create a safe backup copy before you make changes to it. After that you should be all set.
iaa05 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 ah kk... right found it... and it is set to 1 but still having problems... it must be something to do with vista
bben46 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Nearly all laptops have the infrared port turned on by default. You need to go into the BIOS or system settings to disable it. For some reason Microsoft uses some of the resources needed by the ~ key for the IR port. Or use a mod called Ring of Console http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13133
iaa05 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 oh... i dont really like messing about with th BIOS. oh well no hope for it i spose... the things i do for Oblivion :D
