It's a Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit Operating System.
I hope that helps you in figuring this out.

Yeah that helps, if you do everything in my previous post it should remove all traces of the Oblivion install and update the components you need in order to play the game.

Okay, I actually was able to uninstall the game by looking through the files on the disc, so my computer now says Oblivion is uninstalled. Are all of the downloads in your post free and safe to use?

Yeah they are all free and safe to use. The revo uninstaller is 100% free but the Tune Up Utilities is only free for 30 days. But my advice is to use it for the 30 days to fix the problems you have and then uninstall it.
The ones iv listed as updates are all from the microsoft website so are all free and safe to use.

After I hit "correct problems" it gives me three options. "Tune Up Disk Doctor" "Tune Up Repair Wizard" and "Tune Up Undelete". Which one should I click?

When you installed tune up utilities from the link i gave you it should have placed two icons on your desktop. A Tune Up Utilities icon and a Tune Up 1 Click Maintenance icon. You click the Tune Up 1 Click Maintenance icon and then click on correct problems and then click on close and that should be it.
If youve done what iv said above exactly and it still gives you those three options then it most likely means its dettected a major problem. Click the Tune Up Disk Doctor option and put ticks next to all your hard drives then click Next. Then click on Thorough Analysis and click on Next

No problem at all. So it installs but when you click on play does it go to a black screen instead of actually starting if so then do the following:
- Click the Oblivion Launcher
- Next click on Options
- Set the resolution to as low as it will go
- Set antianalising to none
- Unitick vsync
- Under screen effects select none
- Under Distant rendering untick all the boxes
- Finally click on OK
- Then click on Play

No problem. The thing is i own that game and have never had a problem with it.
While you are waiting on their reply you could open your graphics card options and make sure everything is set to Application Controlled just to make sure your graphics card isnt overiding the settings you choose in the oblivion launcher.

Hi gamer
Il try to help but as iv said before iv never encountered problems with oblivion. What graphics card do you have so you can update the software for that?

Im going to asume you have a desktop pc with a radeon x800 graphics card installed. If so you will have trouble running this game as that graphics card is quite old. But you can try and get it working although id recommend getting a new graphics card. Heres what to do:
C ++ for Vista 64 bit
Now reboot your pc and when your back at the desktop do this:
- Download and install the latest Catalyst Software Suite
- then reboot your pc
- Then install the following:
DirectX (You need this whether you running DirectX 9, 10 or 10.1)
.NET Framework
C ++ for Vista 64 bit
Now reboot your pc and when your back at the desktop do this:
- Click the Oblivion Launcher
- Next click on Options
- Set the resolution to as low as it will go
- Set antianalising to none
- Unitick vsync
- Under screen effects select none
- Under Distant rendering untick all the boxes
- Finally click on OK
- Then click on Play

If it worked before then you should uninstall it and reboot your pc, then install everything iv listed above (if you havent done so already) then reinstall Oblivion and try again.
