HELP! Oblivion Mod Manager is not working!

Post » Sun Aug 07, 2011 1:42 pm

I have recently uninstalled and completely erased Oblivion completely off of my system (including having to use a special program to erase/uninstall every single trace of files associated with TES-IV: Oblivion) after mTES4 went completely corrupt and caused the only copy of Oblivion I had left to go completely haywire (all after a complete system restore due to some problems with internet explorer 9), and then I did a complete clean re-install of Oblivion and the game is working fine (had it installed to c/games/oblivion folder), but the things going bad is that I am getting an "OblivionModManager has stopped working" "windows is checking for a solution......." popup message! I need to get this problem fixed asap, but as I'm no computer nerd I cannot figure what the heck went wrong now! Please help me asap!

It sounds like your problem is more Windows related than just Oblivion related for two programs to suddenly stop working. Find the error message by clicking on the arrows at the bottom of that popup box, and google it is my only suggestion. Look for the "fault module".

It's not that simple because the popup box doesn't have arrows on it and the popup box dissapears after 3 seconds!

(Boy am I frustrated and severly overstressed now!!!)

Are you sure you cleanly uninstalled Oblivion before reinstalling it? When you ran the OBMM installer, did you use the 'Run as administrator' command from the context menu (right-click)? It definitely sounds like Windows complaining. Try reinstalling OBMM at least.

I did that already before I went and made this thread (uninstalled/reinstalled OBMM and did the right click as administrator thing like 5 times already when it was installed) and I'm still getting that same not working message that keeps popping up! I'm telling you if this not working thing keeps going on then I'm gonna have to either give up playing Oblivion for good or go back to playing Oblivion on my 7 year old slow playing 32 bit Win. PC!

I'm also starting to think that I may have to just erase everything out of my computer (the one this problem with OBMM and other Oblivion utilities) including all of Windows and do a clean re-install of Windows 7, thus erasing out everything on the PC and reinstalling it all over again, which will definitlely take a hired computer nerd to do right!

Gday

You could possibly have a few rouge registry keys left over or a corrupted registry

If you feel confident enough, Try a free program called CCleaner to fix up your registry.
Always remember to create a restore point and a backup of the the registry changes before removing keys from the registry
CCleaner is pretty user friendly and it gives the option to create a backup before making the changes.
Also check if your net framework and Visual c++ installs are ok

You could try reinstalling obmm in safe mode
I would say you are going to have other software problems , Not only software related to oblivion

Windows is not hard to reinstall, Its not rocket science. Have a look over at the sevenforums they have some very well put together tutorials over their. From novice to expert ,
( but a reinstall of OP system would be a last resort)
