Dilvish Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Try with the video settings at ultra low and the resolution at lowest. If the game starts, inch up the settings. Your video card is weak. Edit: integrated graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilvish Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Were you able to get Oblivion to start with everything set at minimum? Go into Options on the boot screen and again at the game start screen and crank everything down as far as it will go. I think you have this laptop: Acer Aspire 7520-5757 Laptop Computer - AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-55 1.8GHz, 802.11b/g Wireless, 1GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, DL DVDRW, 17" WXGA+, Webcam, Windows Vista Home Premium It looks to me like there is no option to upgrade the video. You could add more ram to improve general performance. You could use a total of 2 or 4 GB of RAM. You're starving Vista with only 1 GB of RAM. If you even want to play older games like Morrowind, get more RAM! That will never be a gaming laptop though. You could still play older games though. Have you ever played Morrowind? It's a great game but not as demanding as Oblivion. Acer's website for support & questions: http://www.acer.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89storeystar Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I've finally got it workin by downloading some more drivers, BUT, it's slow as vulk......how to improve, and yea ive played morrowind and both expansions. e-mail me at [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilvish Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Besides getting more RAM, anything that reduces the demands on the operating system (OS) will improve game performance. I'm using Windows XP rather than Vista so I don't know a lot about Vista. On XP, I would do a clean boot each time before playing Oblivion. I would also work on improving the performance of the OS by turning off unneeded services. There are many guides and tutorials on the web if you need details.
