So I have the Game of the year edition of Oblivion, and everytime i try to enter the game (no mods installed) it crashes right back to desktop with the window "oblivion.exe has stopped working"
My system spec is
Win 7 64x bit Inter Core i7 CPU Q720 a 8gig Ram and ATI HD5870 Crossfire
If you have played the game before on this PC, you can delete or rename a file called Oblivion in C:\Users\"Your Name"\Documents\My Games\Oblivion. I rename mine to Backup to keep it as reference for ini tweaks. If this is one of the newer Alienware Laptops that do not have a disc drive, Use Steam's tool to check the integrity of your Oblivion install.
