Herculine Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Unfortunately, Windows (including WinXP, Vista and Win7) relies on the archaic Windows Registry to tell itself where to find programs and parts of programs. And it doesn't change some of the entries in the registry when you move a complex program from one location to another - So, It loses the information on where a program or certain parts of a program are stored. Sometimes moving works and sometimes it doesn't. Here is the official steam post on moving it to a different location without losing anything or having to reinstall the games. How to Move your Steam to another location Without having to reinstall anything.https://support.stea...php?p_faqid=231 I just did this and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the info bben46!

jhampa Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 BBen46Thanks for your work and I like your little quote at the bottom, yes making mods work is painstaking. Once working one is very shy to do anything to upset the apple cart. I am just now downloading Oblivion as I enjoy Skyrim so much I thought I should go back in time and see Oblivion. I have Win 7, i7 processor, SSD for win and programs but all data on a HD. So I will read this several times to make sure I get it right and then try. I am hopeful not to have to put in XP as a ghost system on its own partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfurby Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Windows 7 has DX11 installed by default. To play older legacy windows games like Oblivion, make sure DX9 is also installed or the game will crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsaysftw Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I run Oblivion: GOTY with Shivering Isles fine on my Windows 7 32-bit PC. It is installed to the default destination in Program Files. The game runs great with no bugs :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
