Oblivion won't run or load

[virgo1066]

Hello,

Got a problem. I have looked for a solution to my problem on numerous sites and have yet to find and answer to my particular problem.

 

I have reinstalled Oblivion GOTY on my desktop on which the game ran before with many mods and no problems other than the normal Oblivion quirks, my copy of the game is the 2K Games standalone version.

In part of this reinstall I have installed and uninstalled the game numerous times, checked and cleaned the registry however the game will not start. It is installed in C:/Games/Bethedsa.

 

When I attempt to run the game, I get several splash screens, and after the copy right notice, it shifts to a black screen with a circular loading icon and will not start no matter how long I let the loading screen run. If I bring up the Windows Task Manager it tells me that Oblivion is running and another program called Common is also running. Calling up the Common program I get a screen that states:

 

The feature you are trying to use is on a

CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not

Available.

 

Insert the Common disk and click OK

 

At this point there is an option to browse to a directory other than the number 1 that is displayed, however I have no control of the mouse to even attempt to change the directory if I knew which directory to browse to.

 

This is a vanilla install. I have installed the base game with and without the Knights of the Nine/ Shivering Isles.

 

Any one, any Ideas?

 

My system:

Windows 7 Ultimate

500 GB SSD,

Intel i7 CPU @3.20 GHZ
