Yes Oblivion does not support Vista

 

but you have not described your problem

 

so we must start at the beginning

 

"does your machine meet the minimum requirements for this game"

 

pay particular attention to your video card

 

Note 99.999% of all onboard video chipsets will not play this game.

True, Bethesda Softworks doesn't support Vista, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't work. Mine works fine on Vista.

 

Could you desribe what exactly isn't working? Does it just crash to your desktop? Do you get an error message? You can't expect us to help with that little information.

Oblivion worked on my Vista just fine...

Actually, believe it or not but, Oblivion is one of the rare games that actually works BETTER on vista.

The game itself runs fine on both Vista and Win7. However, Mods have a problem.

For Vista and Win7 related problems such as UAC, Check here:

tell us about your video card

[Qwaxalot]

Yes indeed, tell us about your video card, your problem description is almost certainly an inadequate video solution.

 

If you don't know how to figure out your video card Please post a "Dxdiag" report:

 

Run (XP) or Start (Vista or 7), type in "dxdiag" (without the quotes), save the report to a desktop text file (default). Copy and paste the results (the whole thing) here in your thread.

Go here to see if your computer can run the game

 

You will find Oblivion listed as 'The Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion

Fallout3 as Fallout3 PC

Did it ever work?

Did you install any mods before starting for the first time (not a good idea)

Did you install in the default location? or a custom location?

Are you running as an administrator?

Did you install the SI or just the Oblivion disk?

What version? Steam? D2D? DVD? Pirate? (if pirate please just go away. We do not support people who do not support the game makers)
