TES CS Quest dailogue 'new topic' crashes the programme

[dhowey3]

I know that this is a pain, but why don't you try to uninstall Oblivion and the CS and reinstall to someplace other than program files? This, at least, gets rid of UAC as a possible complication.

 

Looks like I am going to have to ..or abandon modding.

Having said all that, a new PC and full Oblivion transfer, saved games, mods and all, only took about 20 minutes last time.

So much to do, so little time.....

 

I was just reading this topic to find a fix for my problem related to CTD using the facegen in CS. Guess what!?! This worked! I couldn't believe it. I'm refurbishing a PC that I built for my kid to use in college. There are two sets of audio ports (front and back in my case) but only one of them is actually connected. This sounds silly but check and see if you have two sets of ports. Have you disabled the sound on the motherboard? BTW, I've Windows 7 64-bit with a new install of old Oblvion games. There are no new drivers on the Realtek site.

Sigh......well, following one full uninstall and reinstall including patches and the TES CS, into a different directory, and still with a jack plugged into Realtek soundcard red microphone socket, which appears to be the only one and...no difference.

'New Topic' ...'CS has stopped working'

This might sound sarcastic, but it's not:

 

You can buy a new hard drive that's not too expensive, put it in your computer, and install Windows XP on it. Then you can have two operating systems to choose from at the start. Install Oblivion and the CS, and mod away.

 

 

Spending money to make a mod does sound a little extreme, but if you can afford it, your imagination will thank you. I have two computers. One uses Windows 7, the other XP. If I get the same problem someday, I'm going to try it.

Or I could wait until the Skyrim construction set comes out, which will presumably be more native to Windows 7.

But I acknowledge your line of reasoning here, having already tried to get Oblivion and CS to run on my own old XP PC- the graphics chip wasn't up to it, of course.

But since there are many aspects of modding that I do not yet understand properly anyway, such as scripting and mesh editing, I probably have plenty to keep me occupied until aforementioned Skyrim release .

Does Vista have the same bug? - 'cause I have a Vista PC that used to run Oblivion sitting unplugged in the spare room

[Gargentimma]

yes vista 32-bit has the exact same issue, this program seems to have it out for people wanting to create in-depth content

Hello Gargentimma, welcome to Nexus.

 

I don't think the original posters are going to notice the answer since the last post before yours was almost three years ago. It's a good idea to check the date stamp before replying. :wink:
