AlfredTetzlaff Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hm, sounds like you're being bugged by Windows UAC. For starting OBMM, right click the Icon an choose "runas Administrator". See if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horouboi Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) nope, even doing that i can't exit without that dam message :'( any other ideas? edit: i just uninstalled it and tryed to reinstall it to see if that'd help.... and now it tells me it must be installed to "oblivions installtion directory" and i have no idea what or where that is D': edit2: why can't this be more like fomm for fallout?!

Striker879 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Here's a link to Bben46's Oblivion reinstall procedure. Don't neglect the part about cleaning your registry ... old registry entries will come back to haunt you if you uninstall/re-install without removing the old entries.

Fonger Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 now it tells me it must be installed to "oblivions installtion directory" and i have no idea what or where that is D':Its where you installed the game when in doubt search your computer for oblivion.exe edit2: why can't this be more like fomm for fallout?!Because FOMM was written after OBMM and it grew from the experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horouboi Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) well after doing what striker said i was able to play for like two hours and then whated to place in a new mod and when i exited my p2 problem came back "-_- i'm starting to question if buying the game online on steam might be the issue, hell everytime i have to "reinstall" after this type of thing it takes like 5 hours. i just want to play oblivion with mods!!! :'( edit: its weird cause now i can't install/uninstall into obmm and fomm won't install fomods but it will let me uninstall stuff, freaky >_> Edited November 24, 2011 by horouboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I didn't realize you were a Steam user, otherwise I would have emphasized not to miss the link near the top of the Oblivion reinstalling procedure about moving your Steam folder. Here's a quote, with the link expanded to more words to be a bit more visible:For those who need to move the steam client: How to Move your Steam to another location Without having to reinstall anything. Link If you didn't move your Steam install location you are still under UAC's clutches. Unfortunately this means going through the whole reinstall with Oblivion, but from my understanding your other Steam games (i.e. more modern Steam games that are designed to work alongside UAC) should only require you to start the game for it to update. I would uninstall Oblivion before moving Steam to C:\Games (unless you have more than one physical hard drive, then use their D:\Games\Steam example ... it's always good to have your games on a separate hard drive).
