Crash at splash screen

[num1sailingnut]

I've just done a fresh install of Oblibion (Just had to re-load Win7 because of a HD crash) and whenever I run oblivion it crashes part was through the Bethesda splash screen with a dialog saying "Oblivion has stopped working"

 

I have installed a few mods. At the suggestion of another thread on here, I used OBMM to disable all of my mods, but it still crashes.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance! (Can't wait to get Oblivion running on my shiny new GTX 460! :D )

what directory is this game installed to

 

and did you remove any surviving ini files in your (old) game saves area.

[num1sailingnut]

I installed the game in the default directory. (I had OBMM move things back into the proper directory instead of the virtual store.)

 

I did not remove my old game saves. (Didn't realize I would have to do that.) I'm actually trying to resume playing where I "left off" when my HD crashed.

 

I used OBMM to load all of the same mods that I had when playing before to make the saves compatible.

 

Thanks!

Congratulations you've empowered UAC

 

Its goal in live is to give users migraines

 

Until your game is outside of UAC's sphere of domination

 

It will always find ways to administer pain.

 

Move your game

 

then try again.

 

 

BTW you've kept your various game ini files

 

so you have yet another migraine waiting for you.

Can I simply "move" the game directory, or do I have to uninstall/reinstall?

 

Would be great if it was as simple as a move, but certain I won't get that lucky! :laugh:

Hopefully what I found will help others.

 

It was actually quite simple. I was using GameSave Manager to backup and restore game saves. Well it turns out that it was copying over my oblivion.ini and the old version for some reason was not compatible with my current system.

 

So, make sure you get Oblivion running and then save a copy of the ini files created in the root of the Oblivion game save folder, restore your game saves, then copy the ini files back and voila, things should work!

C0000005 is a buffer overflow. This will happen inevitably the longer you play. The less plugins you use, the longer you can go before this happens. You can try to prevent this by using Oblivion Stutter Remover and its heap replacement feature, or enabling the large address aware flag in Oblivion.exe.

 

You DO NOT need to install somewhere else. To disable UAC for Oblivion, right-click the Oblivion folder, click Properties, select the Security tab, click Edit, select Users from the top list box, check Full control in the bottom list box, and apply these settings. Make sure you have nothing in the Oblivion folder open when you do this, or else it won't apply the new permissions.

So is there any way to fix this?
