Make a folder in your documents and place all of the esp's you made inside of it. Reinstall Oblivion then install your own esp's from the folder. Hopefully this will fix your problems.

Oblivion runs fine with all versions of Windows from XP up. No compatibility mode needed. However, Vista and Win7 can have problems with mods - including the ones you make yourself, due to UAC if you install in the default location. UAC doesn't like the construction set either.

 

A missing master can be an esm missing or loaded wrong or a mod in the wrong load order. The mod must be placed after the mod it modifies also.

 

Best fix, reinstall outside of the UAC protected program filed folders. Most people have been doing this by creating a new folder named C:\Games\Oblivion and reinstalling there.

 

For a complete uninstall/reinstall that allows preserving all saves, mods and settings

Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexus
