rprince Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My oblivion was working flawlessly before my friend yanked out the cord to my laptop, then my screen kept opening and closing the oblivion window really fast and i was forced to shard shut down....now it crashes on startup even without the many mods i had before,,,, ive tried uninstalling and installing it into another folder and i still wont work.. do you guys think a file on the disk may have been corrupted? anyway i really need help on this one so any advice is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonger Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) experimentally delete the oblivion.ini in your game saves area also the battery in your lappy obviously needs replacement Edited June 29, 2011 by Fonger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker879 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Since the incident is everything else on the machine back to normal (i.e. other games and programs working normally, machine booting without errors)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No everything has been fine other than oblivion, but i haven't checked other games since i don't really have any others installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My guess is that the sudden power loss corrupted some critical file. Possibly the power was lost while the game was writing to the disk. First try this:Bben's Oblivion Revert to Vanilla gameWIKI http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Revert_to_vanilla_data If that doesn't work, you may have to do a full reinstall.Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexushttp://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=240 It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice.
