WoogieMonster Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Click the Oblivion icon/shortcut to open the game menu. You should see the menu with Play, Data Files, Options, etc. Click Data Files and you should see a list of items with a box next to each one. Make sure that Oblivion.esm (Master File) is in the list and has a "x" in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Three year old thread - Locked as newer info made this one irrelevant.Most of these I have seen were one of 3 things. User either deleted, renamed or moved the esm, - Reinstall and don't do that.Improper install, reinstall following the instructions. For pirate versions, please take your problem back where you got it as we are not interested in helping thieves.If you have this problem and it doesn't fit the listed categories - please start a new topic. :thumbsup:Bben46, Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
