So I have recently downloaded and installed oblivion for the PC, but on start up right after the Bethesda games studio logo right after the copy right it says windows has encountered a problem, and will tell you if there is a solution and you have to close the program. I have tried everything that everyone has said to fix this problem I've un-installed and re-installed the game countless times, i'm moved it to a none AUC folder, I've deleted the Oblivion.ini multiply times, I've ran it in every compatibility mode and as an administrator i have no idea of what to do anymore it seems like I've tried everything. I really would like to play they game because i loved it on Xbox 360 but i wanted to try out some of the mods for the games but i cant even get the game to load the main menu. any help would be appreciated. My system runs windows 7 home premium, Intel® core™ i7 CPU, 920 @ 2.67GHz 8GB of ram and on a 64 bit operation system.

Hi,

Just a thought....have either of you installed DirectX 9? Yes you may have DX 11 but this game is run on 9.

Well I just did go try and download 9, then played it but they same thing happened so I don't know.

I decided to re instal Oblivion a few days ago, and I have the same problem.

I used to play Oblivion alot, and I have no idea why it keeps crashing.
