Likely because your load order is all screwed up. Oblivion.esm HAS to be first in the list. All other .esm and .esp files are dependant on it. Any time that a mod loads and can't find the file it is dependant on (because it hasn't loaded yet) you get the crash back to desktop. Try downloading and running BOSS. It should sort things out for you.

Please add post the following information:

 

Windows version

Install path of Oblivion (e.g. c:\Program Files\Bethesda Softwairks\Oblivion)

Oblivion source (Game of the Year disks / Steam / Impulse / D2D / other)

Oblivion version (find the Oblivion.exe file in the game directory, and rights click it - select Properties and then the Details tab - look for a version number)

Any of the Unofficial patches you may have installed (there are at least four)

Any mod handling utilities or game extenders you have installed such as OBMM/OBSE/Wrye Bash.

 

Then, while waiting for a reply, read all of the readme files and check you didn't miss out on a required file - a lot of mods use Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) or require another mod to be installed first. If that fixes the problem, then please at least post and let us know.

 

If you are on Vista or Windows 7, I strongly recommend you move the Oblivion installation to C:\Games\Oblivion - the rest of the post (behind the spoiler tags)will tell you how. Check the basic install works, then add the mods one by one.

 

 

If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7and are thinking of modding, do yourself (and us, because you'd no doubt be asking for help with it later) a BIG favour and use Bben46's guide here to move the game from the default install position to C:\Games\Oblivion. That stops the UAC from mucking up just about every mod you try to use, including (sometimes) official patches.

 

Many mods will require you to be patched to version 1.2.0416, and a lot will require the Shivering Isles expansion - if you don't already have Shivering Isles, buy it and add it to the game, THEN patch it (otherwise you'll need to uninstall and reinstall from scratch to add Shivering Isles later).

 

I strongly suggest adding the Unofficial Oblivion Patch (UOP), the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch (UOSP), and (if you have Knights of the Nine and/or any of the official downloadable content files, the Unofficial Official Mods Patch (UOMP), plus the Uofficial Patch Supplementals and the UOP Dark Sister Voice Fix. They between them bugfix several thousand bugs and errors, and make the game much better to play.

 

Other "essential" mods are Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE), and then Fast Exit and Windom Earle's Oblivion Crash Prevention System (weOCPS) - the pair of those greatly aid stability and stop many of the more common crash scenarios from wrecking your game.

try using OBSE too.

Some mods alter scripting and you have to lauch the game through that rather than the normal desktop icon.
