Smooth613 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Delete your Oblivion.ini from the following location... My Documents\My Games\Oblivion Oblivion will generate a new one upon start. Also if you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 I suggest you read the following. Take note of the installation location and notes on UAC. Keep in mind not everything below will be specific to your problem but is good general information related to installation and UAC. Also make sure you visit and bookmark Tomlong's site, listed near the bottom. Virtual Store – Win 7 & Vista | Windows is basically ghosting your files since you installed to Program Files. UAC doesn't like it when files are altered in anyway and sees this as a security threat. This is why you should always install Oblivion outside of Program Files to a directory such as <drive letter>:\Games\Oblivion. Windows is storing the files in the VirtualStore, located at <drive letter>:\Users\<username>\AppData\VirtualStore.[/line]Window 7 Related problems, etc... Are you using Windows 7 or Vista? Did you install Oblivion to the default directory of Program Files? If you answered yes to to both then you are likely experiencing, or will experience problems due to UAC, Windows security. Windows doesn't like it when an application, program, or even the user, attempts to alter files in a protected directory. UAC sees this a potential security threat and treats it as a malicious attack and blocks the action from happening. To prevent this you need to install Oblivion outside the jurisdiction of UAC, to an unprotected directory. A popular and suitable location is <drive letter>:\Games\Oblivion. For information on proper installation I suggest you follow Bben's Reinstall Procedure. If that's not the case then you have either improperly installed the mods, therefor needing to completely uninstall and reinstall the mods properly according to the ReadMe, or you need to activate, or update, Archive Invalidation. You might also want to read the section about Pink or Missing Textures Section. Another great resource is Tomlong's site, TESIV:POSItive. She has included information on nearly every aspect of Oblivion you might need help or just be curious about. It has information to suite anyone from beginner to advanced. I urge everyone to bookmark this site and soak up as much information as you possibly Edited January 6, 2011 by Smooth613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
