bigred15 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I am going crazy with this issue. I had to re-install Oblivion and now I cannot get the video to work. Everything starts up just fine, but when I get to my character the screen is black. I haven't changed anything except for the new install. Any ideas??? I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Reinstalling Oblivion doesn't remove anything except what was installed when you originally installed the game. It does not remove any mods, saves or anything else that was placed in the data folder. It also does not remove some of the original Windows registry entries that were created when the game was first installed. Any of these things can cause problems. This DOES remove all of that, and allows you to reinstall a clean game. Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the WIKI section of the Nexushttp://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Oblivion_reinstall_procedure It allows you to preserve any saves and mods - in a different folder, or remove them completely - your choice. You will still have to reinstall any official patches, OBMM, OBSE and any other utility programs that place anything in either the Oblivion folder or the data folder.
