Hi
Bought oblivion 5th aniversary today here in sweden.
Installed thrue a CD player on my local network. No problem there but.......
To start the game the CD is not found, even if i use launcher aplication click direct in my explored page of the cd content. Still no way to see my cd!!??

I thought it was obsolete way of checking if Im legit owner.

Anyway, how to start my new game?
cheers

Oblivion uses Securom, so it needs to see the disk in the drive to launch. You will need to install a optical drive in your machine. It may very well work on a USB connected drive.

(Note, you can't install this game in Program Files, it has to be in a custom directory not controlled by the UAC)

What you could try and do is see if you can get the game from Steam, that won't need the disk check.
