In XP I would create different user accounts for different types of characters. That kept the saves separate, but more significantly it allowed me to activate different mods per type of character (eg a Noble Warrior would get different mods than an Evil Necromancer).
I reloaded Oblivion, DLCs/Expansion, and all mods from scratch, thinking that would be safer than simply copying the full Data directory.
I was able to get a character save from the XP system to run in the main (admin) account of the Windows 7 system. Then I created a second account and appear to have problems. Specifically the save I moved over is from Frostcrag, and the walls/floor are untextured and solid purple. The are likely other problems. I made the second account an admin account with the same problem. I also made sure that the User Accounts had Full Access to the Oblivion directory (under C:\Games\Oblivion, not under Programs).
Any thoughts on what might be causing the problem or how to fix it?
Thanks!
