MarkInMKUK Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 First thing to do - install the game to C:\Games\Oblivion, NOT the default install path. The game was written pre-Windows Vista, and so doesn't take account of UAC which mucks up all kinds of things. Bben46 has written an uninstall/reinstall guide HERE. The game DOES work ok on Win7 - my own setup is very close to yours with a slightly faster processor, but works smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkInMKUK Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Sounds very much like a dodgy disk - I have seen new software with an error before. You could try copying the CAB file to your hard drive, then using Universal Extractor to extract the dodgy bsa file. The copy to hard drive will prove whether it's a data error reading the DVD - if it fails you know the disk is physically faulty. If the Universal Extractor can't pull the bsa file out, it could be a corrupted file on the DVD from a faulty manufacturing pressing.

MotoSxorpio Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Mark is saying that if the hard drive copy works, you may need a new media reader (DVD, whateva it may be). Good stuff, Mark. I was looking for a cab extractor a month or two ago. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
