Oblivion GOTY crashing at startup

Post » Sat Jul 02, 2011 12:53 pm

I just bought Oblivion GOTY edition on Steam today, and it doesn't work.

When I start it, I get the startup menu with options like play, data files, etc. and when I hit play, the game crashes with no error message.

After some investigation, I tried fixing it by setting bMusicEnabled=0 in Oblivion.ini This worked, and I was able to get the main menu, which I closed right away. However, I have not been able to start Oblivion since then, regardless of the .ini settings.

I have no idea why it could have worked once and then stopped. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Intel i7 930
Geforce GTX 470
Onboard sound (Which is why I suspected the problem was related to music)
Windows 7
