MyChemGams Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Alright, here's the skinny. I recently uploaded the OBSE plugins Oblivion Crash Prevention and Menuque. All of the sudden Oblivion (when launched through OBSE v0020) would not load and instead I received three error messages, one after the next, the header reading "Oblivion.exe - Bad Image," each telling me that a dll file was not a valid Windows image. Said dll files are the two from we's OBCP and the one for MenuQue v16. Now, I've begun playing from the Administrator's account on my Windows XP, and this allows me to load the game despite the error messages, and Menuque and the Oblivion Crash Prevention appears to be doing their jobs just fine (though I've discovered that there's a mod that won't allow Oblivion to load, so I'm systematically going through my mods.). These error messages showed up even when I had removed the three OBSE Plugins from their folder - C:/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data/OBSE/Plugins - and even when I'd re-downloaded OBSE AND the plugins.. I've read that Program Files may not have been the smartest place to download Oblivion after all these years - but my question is what do I have to do to stop these messages from appearing? What have I not done? Also: I have also read that I should try reinstalling Oblivion, but magically my setup.exe for Oblivion has vanished (once Oblivion.exe vanished as well, but that was a while back.) and I'm not sure how to run the uninstaller from the Oblivion DVD. What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should I do? Put the DVD into your drive and run OblivionLauncher.exe (from the DVD). When the launcher window opens, press 'Uninstall'.
