helol Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Mostly something wrong with the drivers,reinstall your video card and see.# Further into Depth :GetDeviceCaps() is a DirectX routine call made by the game engine to check you video card details, what all it is capable of supporting, and after that the game engine takes certain decisions on what all things to initialize for it. If that is failing, it means that the game engine is not able to read your video card properly. 95% chance that there is something wrong with your video drivers. 5% that your card has a prob.Try running some other game and see if it works. IF it doesn't, then definity your drivers need a second look. If it does, that means, Oblivion has a problem with the drivers you are using, or else they have not been installed properly.

helol Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Right click "My Computer" and choose "Properties", click on the "Hardware tab" then the "Device Manager" button.Click the + sign by "display adapter" and it should list your video card. "Check your card to the one oblivion recommends, and the ones it works with" Hope this helps : () Edited February 11, 2011 by helol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csgators Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 on mine it doesnt have a display adapter option You can find out what card you have by using SIW. It sounds like you have no video drivers installed at all or they are the wrong ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
