Please Help!!!!! trying to load oblivion onto my computer

[Black_Mariah]

Hi, I was wondering if any of you could help me. I was directed here by whitelotus as he can't help me at this very moment in time.
I'm trying to load oblivion onto my computer, but when i click on play it comes up with: an error has occurred and oblivion has to close send error report or dont send.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, disk check, dick clean up, defragg, and tried installing pathces off the website. Nothing has worked.

I should let you all know that i am a computer noob so i dont really know much about it, not very helpful i know. But if any of you could help me i would be really greatful as i love this game and need to play

Have you tried running other games or graphic intense applications to see if it's video card related?

Not recently, I have played Morrowind on here though which was fine. I know the graphics are not as intense but the game content is as detailed. If it was the video card would it stop it from loading at all? I thought it would just make the gameplay sketchy. For some reason my print screen isnt working other wise i would post it to show the error message. Its literally, i double click desktop icon, press play, an error has occurred blah, blah, blah.

[DaMulta]

Hold Alt-print screen(after you touched the top of what ever you want to take the ss of) then save it it in paint

Oh damn. I've uninstalled so i wont get the error message up again. And it takes a year to install

What he said.

When Oblivion came out, it was a video card killer at the time.

 

[WhiteLotus]

hey guys, thanks for the help given, i will see what i can do for her soon. I was thinking corrupt install, maybe dodgy graphics drivers?

 

[Ongaku]

it crashes like that when you don't have a good video card...what card does she have?

my bf decided to see if it would play on a geforce 2 MX and it crashed exactly like that.

 

[PaulieG]

Yeah, You should reinstall drivers. We would tell you what drivers to install, if you filled out your system specs, and knew what card you're using.

Yeah, should reinstall drivers. We would tell you what drivers to install, if you filled out your system specs, and knoew what card you're using.

What he said. We really need your system specs. ^_^';

That the point I would go and get all the necessary CPU-z and GPU-z and bish bash bosh system specs done, and graphics drivers sorted etc - but trying to text the "how-to" whilst your at work to someone who (sorry BM) is computer literate is neigh impossible!
