Failed to Initialize renderer. Get AdapterDesc() failed.

EDIT: NEVERMIND I FIXED IT, SORRY EVERYONE!

 

 

Hey, so I've looked around everywhere for a solution to this error. I got desperate and decided to ask people directly for help. The error is: Failed to Initialize renderer. Get AdapterDesc() failed.

 

I get the error when I try to launch oblivion, clicking OK will be followed by an immediate crash.

 

I've tried many solutions such as:

 

-Starting in windowed mode

-Updating my graphics drivers to the latest ones

-I've tried to download the latest version of directX which apparently I already have the latest version

-Messing with my graphics settings

-Deleting my oblivion.ini

-I am not utilizing crossfire either

-My graphics card display does show up by default in the settings menu as well as I am not using integrated graphics

 

However I've yet to do a full reinstall of oblivion, maybe I should consider doing that.

 

Apparently this error most commonly occurs when the users PC does not meet the minimal requirements for oblivion from what I've read online so, my PC specs are:

 

OS: Windows 8.1

GPU: Radeon R9 280x 4GB VRAM

CPU: an i5-4670k

RAM: 16GBs of DDR3 RAM

 

I would figure with this setup I should be able to play oblivion just fine but the game does not seem to think so.

 

Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated, I'm extremely desperate because I don't want to buy a game and not be able to play it.

 

Thank you for reading this and any amount of time you put into helping me!

 

I took a screenshot of the exact error as well:
