TheFoxy87 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Did you install it to Program Files? try installing it to a different directory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaldir Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 You could try turning off UAC. This will solve many problems with installing software to your program files folder. One exception from this is if you are not very good with computers, then UAC can be good to have. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swatty123, you mentioned using a no-dvd patch. Have you tried using the original exe and just inserting the game DVD into the drive to rule out a problem with the cracks? If you are having problems with the game, never add anything to the mix that you do not have to. Such as during your re-install, simply start the game immediately after installing without trying to install any patches, mods, etc. The more you "do" to the system, the more you have to troubleshoot.

Shadowfen Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 When I start oblivion, all the advertisements show up, for bethesta etc. After the long text with the license shows up, the screen gets black. (when I skip the ads with "esc" the oblivion loading screen pops up, but freezes, too when the load progress is complete.) The task manager says the program is running properly. My OS is Windows 7 ultimate 32 Bit. Oblivion already worked for my hardware with windows xp. This discription reminds me of a problem that I had on my previous computer with Oblivion. It was behaving essentially the same as you describe (except that my OS was winXP) and it had worked before it started doing that... I finally diagnosed the problem as my machine running out of memory for the game as I added new mods to it. I thought the game was just hanging up and would kill it, but one time I was called away from the computer while it was "frozen" and when I got back to it about a half hour later, it had finished loading and was ready to go. I bought another gig of memory (bringing it up to two gigs) for the computer and it was happy after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
