the ~ key don't work

[maxtb]

I am playing oblivion now on a laptop, but when I want to cheat (I know, I must be ashamed :rolleyes: ) I can't open that thing with the ~ key.

I installed, uninstalled and reensstalled it, but it makes no diffrence. the frustrating thing is that it worked on my previous pc.

if someone can help me, please don't let me suffer any longer

Might also be the ^ key (left to your 1)

According to the UESP wiki page:

 

Note: If you are running Oblivion on Windows XP Media Center Edition or Windows Vista, and an infrared remote receiver is plugged in (note that many laptops have this built in), your console may not function properly. In order to restore its functionality, unplug the receiver for your Media Center Remote (or if it's built in use the device manager to uninstall "ITECIR Infrared Receiver" from "Human Interface Devices"). This will allow you to use the console, as the receiver interferes with Oblivion's programming. Additionally, a built-in infrared receiver on laptops can cause the same issue and disabling it in the Device Manager has proven to fix the console function. Alternatively, a Ring of Console mod has been created to circumvent this problem. You can also use Change Console Key mod (requires obse and latest oblivion patch) to change the key. It is better than Ring of console and removes the fact that If you are using Ring of console toggling menus may prevent you to save or use the console again to get menus back.

Change console key

 

In summary, you can either disable your computers IR driver if you're not using it, change the console key, or equip a ring of console. Note that the 2nd and 3rd options require OBSE to function.
