silverf51 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I just reinstalled Oblivion. Kind of. I have the GOTY CD version, but my computer has no CD drive. My solution was to make ISOs of the CDs an a laptop, then transfer those, mount them on a virtual drive, then install. SecuROM wouldn't let me. Okay, second attempt. Install Oblivion on the laptop, then transfer the installed files. I even tested the ISOs to be sure they'd let me launch Oblivion using them, and it worked just fine. I transfered everything to my desktop, mounted the ISOs, and launched. The intro movies played, but froze after the last one. I had to kill Oblivion via task manager. That happens every time I try to launch, no matter what else I do. I get the same thing every time. It's in a custom, non-program files location. Compatibility mode does nothing. Run as administrator does nothing. Deleting Oblivion.ini does nothing (even though it was never modified in the first place). Trying different graphical settings does nothing. I only have one monitor, so it's not a dual monitor problem. No-CD patch? That doesn't work either. At this point, I've run out of ideas. My best guess is that this is related to my inability to do a proper install. I'm out of ideas on things to try.

discovery1 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have no installed cd drive, modern pcs are going down that route. I use a stand alone Samsung cd drive usb 3.0 it does the job. I reckon the problem you have is the ini looks for the echo from the disc installation file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
