SavageArtistry Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 you can try looking here! theres a section on vista! You've got the words "tweak guide" tacked onto the end of the url, then it redirects to the main page. Here's the url: http://www.tweakguides.com/Oblivion_1.html It's odd, I use Vista and have never had any problems running Oblivion, but I do tend to install all of my games to non-default locations. Maybe that has something to do with it. Ah well. :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 For some reason beyond my comprehension, Microsoft decided to disable the tilde key (~) when they have infrared turned on. On most desktop computers this is not a problem because they don't have IR capability. However, for laptops and media center desktops, as well as those desktops that do have an infrared receiver/transmitter it is a nuisance. On the media center PC, the simplest fix is to unplug the IR from the PC. The tilde immediately returns to use. On those with an IR that can not be simply unplugged, you will need to go into the control panel to disable IR. On an XP system: Vista will be similarStart>Settings>Control Panelclick on 'System' then the Hardware tab, then the 'Device Manager' Find the infrared portUnder the section labeled 'Device usage' select 'Do not use this Device (disable)'Click on the OK below it. A red x should appear over the IR port on the list of devices. Of course, this will make anything that relies on the IR no longer function until you change it back. Or, you can use this mod as a work around: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
