This seems to be a fairly common bug. I have seen several threads about it. Try searching through the forum to see what other members have been able to do.

 

If there is nothing helpful there, you may need to do a clean install.

 

Uninstalling Oblivion doesn't really uninstall the entire thing. It leaves behind several files such as your save game file, Oblivion.ini file, your /data file and some registry entries.

 

From my experience, the registry entries don't matter. But the others do.

 

These instructions assume you are using the default path and running WinXP. the path is slightly different on Vista.

 

To save the data file with all of your mods, go to C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data.

Rename the /data folder to something like oldata.

 

To save folder that has your saved games go to C:\Documents and settings\your name\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion

rename the /Oblivion folder there to something like oldoblivion- this rpreserves all of your saved games and your Oblivion.ini.

 

When you reinstall, It will create new files to replace the ones you renamed.

 

Then when you reinstall, first install the oblivion from the original disk. Then, before installing anything else, SI or mods start the game and make a save. This allows Oblivion to initialize everything that needs to be initialized when you start , Then, if you use SI, install SI. again start the game and make a save.

 

Now, download the latest patch - If you use SI, ONLY use the latest SI patch and not the oblivion patch. If you do NOT use SI, only use the latest Oblivion patch. you can get them here: http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm

 

Again, after installing the patch - only one - Start the game and make a save.

 

Now you should be at the beginning of the game with no mods. Now, go back to the new data folder (Oblivion/Data) and rename it to something like Newdata. Then rename the oldata back to data.

 

Now you should have all of your mods back. If one of them is a problem, you can always go back to the newdata.

 

If you want to use your old saves, then go to the Documents and files \...\My Games\oblivion - that is the new one created by the reinstall. and rename it to NewOblivion, then rename the oldoblivion back to Oblivion. when you play the original saves will be back. if they turn out t have been the problem, then you have the newoblivion as a backup.

 

It the old saves are the problem and you don't want to go back through the training dungeon again, Try one of the mods that allows you to start somewhere else such as Alternative start Arrive by Ship: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11495

 

Sounds like a lot of work, but it should leave you with a clean install. And hopefully no purple ground.

 

Good luck

Happened to me. It sux. Do a search for "purple ground" and\or "shaders" here. Something weird can spontaneously happen within the depths of the shaders folder. Someone has posted a reply to a poster with the same problem that has a working (as of mebbe a month ago) link to a stock shaders folder. Oddly, the only way I could get it to recognize the new files is if I deleted the old shaders folder (that's in your data folder right now), start the game without it, have it ctd, then copy the new shaders folder I d/ld from here in to the data folder and start it up. :unsure: Mebbe yours won't require all that. Good luck.
