Opening the Console
The console is opened with the tilde (~) key; it's left of the 1 key, below the Esc key, and above the Tab key. If it doesn't open the console then you probably have one or more of the following issues:
- You have an infrared remote sensor hooked up to your computer (used for the Windows Media version of Windows). Disconnect it and try again.
-- Note that this also works on some Vista computers.
- You have Windows Vista installed. Download and use the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13133 mod to access the console. (The mod requires you to have the Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) installed to work: you can download it http://obse.silverlock.org/.) If equipping the ring still doesn't work, try hotkeying the ring to a slot. Then activating and deactivating it should bring up the console cursor at the bottom left. (This does not apply to all versions of Windows Vista).
- You're using an international keyboard. Depending on the country your keyboard comes from, the tilde key might not be placed as described, though the key in that location may still open the console; if it does not, then using the above mod should solve the problem.

ive tried the ring of console a while back and it didnt work (unless i did it wrong)i tried it with a hotkey too. Im not sure what the infared sensor is or how to disable it but my computer does have a remote conrtol. i also have vista
