odamimdead Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) ok heres the short story, i purchased my computer from a friend and it has 4 hard drives, 2 regular and 2 raid. the oblivion game is in a raid drive(dont believe this matters) and the issue is when i click the launcher elderscrolls.com and exit are the only options. in the same file as the launcher is a icon that look just like the launcher and when clicked launches the game. i have downloaded a few mods and followed the direction untill the part where i need to turn them on. i dont know what the person before me did to the game and its files. the game works fine but theres no way i can figure out how to activate the mods. ill give any other information as needed and ill chek bak on this forum daily. thanx in advance for any help offered heres some more information that i think may be helpfull, i have Version 1.2.0416 there seems to be some mods (excuse my language) black person rigged in to the oblivion data files like shadow armor and katana. all the expansions and one or two unoficial ones are also installed somewhere. when i start a new game and finish up in the sewers i get about 12 quest updates. i believe there is a way to manually install new mods and make them work thats why im asking for a expert. sorry for not saying this earlier but i do not have the disk Edited December 10, 2010 by odamimdead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zephalos Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 It sounds like the registry entries for Oblivion have been damaged. As the above poster said, reinstalling from the DVD should fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Reinstalling from the DVD may not fix damaged registry entries. However, this procedure will. As well as some other strange problems. Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexushttp://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=240 It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice.

TheVampireDante Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 If you do not have a legally purchased copy of the game, you have no entitlement to play it. Go and buy the game, and then - if you're still having trouble, come and ask for help. Topic closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
