Black screen straight from startup?

Does the game (or should I say DID) work without any mods installed. You could have a missing master (some mods have both an esp and an esm ... both need to be checked in Data Files). The 'ton of mods' is a really poor way to go about modding Oblivion. The recommended way is get the vanilla game installed and patched to version 1.2.0416. Check everything works out past the tutorial and exit the sewer. Save. Install the unofficial patches (if you are going to use them). Most important, when you start installing mods do so ONE at a time (or two or three at once when you get a good understanding of what you're doing). Thoroughly test the game before moving on to add any more. Makes troubleshooting problems much simpler.

Did it ever work? If so what did you do just before it quit?

Do you have the latest patch?

Do you have OBSE?

Do you have Shivering Isles? (Goty or other version?)

What version? DVD, Steam, other?

Do you use BOSS to sort your load order?

Do you use OBMM? Wrye Bash? any other utility programs?

What is your load order?

Where is the game installed?

What operating system? XP, Vista or Win7
