Oblivion Wont Start New Game

[TheTerminator2004]

Uninstall it, go to your old Oblivion folder, and delete it. Then go to your My Documents/My Games (or whatever the Vista equivalent is), and delete the Oblivion folder there, then reinstall. I don't know how to change compatibility mode in Vista, but in XP you had to right click on the exe -> properties -> compatibility, so it should be fairly similar.

OK. I uninstalled it and did all that b4 reinstalling. And still no luck. Thanks for your ideas though.

The game still acts like the "Yes" start a new game button doesnt exist (absolutly nothing happens when i click it) and my old non-existant mods are still shown.

I have used 44.9 GB of the 68.8 GB of space on my laptop, how much of a difference would this make? And again, this game did once work on this stupid thing.

ah huh. Registry problems. Follow the guide i recomended earlier EXACTUALLY, and delete anything else you can find with the word ''Bethesda'' and ''Oblivion'' and ''TES'' (Don't do that if you have morrowind ;) )

and hopefully, it will work. if not, you might have to go without Oblivion...also, did you try a save game off here?

[Funlovincriminal0]

YES!!!!!!! Aha! I did exactly as u said and now its working really well! Thanks for all your help!

The random deleted mods are still there, but i don't think that they matter.

Thanks again.

it usually is the registry that gives you issues... Thats ok, just glad to help a fellow Oblvion player.

While im here, Terminator, can you tell me how to fix the pink mountains an stuff? its not that bad, but is just annoying...sorta like the purple tiles thingy, cept much less irritating. (i would'nt mind it, if it had all the standard details.)

[TheTerminator2004]

Sure :) Only I'm not 100% certain how to fix it... the first thing to do would be to try reinstalling it, and see if that helps.

 

EDIT: Actually, first try deleting or renaming Oblivion.ini, that might fix the problem, and would be a lot better than reinstalling.

[damstachizz]

just to be sure, thats the one that saves in the same spot as the save games right? vista doesn't say Oblivion.ini, it just says Oblivion, and says its a config file..

EDIT:

yeah, i renamed it, and everything...but still got the pink mountains...:(

[TheTerminator2004]

In XP, it's in My Documents\My Games\Oblivion, so it'll just be in whatever the Vista equivalent to My Documents is.

 

If it didn't work, try reinstalling Oblivion, I suppose. That's the only other possibility I can think of.

[damstachizz]

oh well. Pink mountains arn't THAT bad compared to the other stuff ups. Im not going to reinstall after all the problems i had last time (don't ask...just...don't). Would a texture mod do anything?

[Funlovincriminal0]

ARGH! :wallbash:

the problem is back again!

i didn't uninstall oblivion all i did was install a bunch of mods, horse armor and all that, then i downloaded ones like midas magic, deadly reflexes and akatosh mount. It was still working except deadly relexs didnt work and a there were a bunch of yellow exclaimation marks around with midas magic. Then i installed shivering isles and now the same problem is back! i have two saved games now but every time i try to load them the computer says that oblivion had stopped working!

Please help!
