Clean Install issues


Recommended Posts

EDIT: UGH Sorry to be such a bother and take up space but obviously I fixed it ... an .ini file apparently have never been deleted and I completely space it. Perhaps trying this stuff when I'm running on a few hours of sleep isn't a good idea. So if you could just ignore this ...

 

Anyways kind of a newbie to forums =D but thats more of an FYI (also yes I know my name is nooby)

 

So I wasn't even going to post until I had tried some of the listed methods. For example the pinned post http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/41082-problems-with-reinstalling-oblivion/ only problem I have is that the link is broken so I followed http://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=240.

 

I've been running oblivion for aprox. two years and its just NOW doing this so that's kind of why it's confusing me.

 

Using Vista 64-bit, 5gb Ram, E2220 Dual Core 2.4ghz processor, NVidia 9500GT 1GB (anything else I'm forgetting?)

 

1)First uninstalled oblivion 100% from it's uninstaller (not the launcher).

-Made sure nothing was left in the folder.

2)Used CCleaner and even told it to include the folder, but let it run twice.

3)Rebooted computer

4)Popped the oblivion CD back in

-Used Explore > Setup.exe to install it

5)Next CD (obviously GOTYD)

--Installed everything to C:\Games\Oblivion INSTEAD of C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda\Oblivion\ (They get the same result EITHER way)

6)Started up oblivion, set all my setting to low for a test run ...

-Heard the Bethesda start up theme and the logo about to pop out

-Unexpected beep

-Crash report that ruined my day ...

 

Anyways probably plenty of people who have had this problem I was just curious if maybe it's a vista update or ... if there is something I forgot ... or if I'm just being stupid.

 

Tweak with all the graphical settings and nothing seemed to change...

 

If someone can help me with this or at least point me in the right direction I would love it =D

 

Thanks in advance, Dark Knight
