shinobirei Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 When i open oblivion laucher i click play and then i get a box in the corner of my screen that is black or white (i have tryed several times to get it working) and then a error thing pops up. I have reinstalled oblivion, deleted the registys since CCleaner said there was a problem and i have gone to /documents/Mygames/oblivion and deleted the folder that containted the .ini file too. These all have failed to fix my issue. I also have tryed this several times in the past few hours. I have directx 9.0c, i have above the minimal system requirements and i am running Windows XP professional sp3 ,(5.1 build 2600). I have the up to date drivers as i updated them last wednesday (so i assume i do). So how do i fix my issue? any ideas? Thanks in advance. Sorry for bad english. Hope this is in the right place. Also a screen shot is attached for you to see what im talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltharSeramis Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Hi, are all your drivers up to date? If not, update them. By the way: CCleaner is a really nice tool for deleting temp-files and so on, BUT the registry-cleaning-function is totally senseless. It's often said that the OS boots slower if there are any empty registry-entries. This is not true as the OS simply ignores such entries completely. I would recommend to never allow a tool, you don't really know (and I mean 100%) to edit your registry. This could easily lead to an unstable system or, the worst case, a system which isn't able to boot anymore.

UltharSeramis Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Dual OS should not affect this at all. I must admit that I have no clue about what's going on with your Oblivion. However, I will think about it and I hope I am able to find a solution. Greatings, Ulthar By the way, Your Oblivion is up tu date, isn't it?

bben46 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 @Ulthur - normally it doesn't make a lot of difference if you clean the registry. However, in the case of Oblivion, when you uninstall the game , it does not uninstall the registry entries. Then if you reinstall, it uses the old registry entries instead of replacing them with new ones. :pinch: IF you reinstall in exactly the same location, It may work fine - but if you change the location - different drive, different folder or different path it does matter and your game will not work. So, in this isolated case - you really do need to clean the registry entries. But for it to work, you must uninstall the game using the game uninstaller, then reboot the computer - this flags the left over registry entries as orphans and allows any registry cleaner to easily remove them ( if your cleaner allows, set to only remove orphans) After cleaning, reboot again to allow windows to do some housecleaning. Then reinstall :thumbsup: I verified this procedure using a legal DVD install disk. I have not verified using a Steam version as I don't have the steam version of Oblivion.Here is the entire uninstall/reinstall procedure http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Oblivion_reinstall_procedure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
