black screen problem and im using vista : IV

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:31 am

I read the topic that said there is no formal support for Vista, and i'm having the black screen problem. Is there no way to fix this? I downloaded Quarns black screen fix and put it in the plugins folder but to no avail. The screens still black. I'm not very tech savvy so some one might have to explain this to me.

Post a dxdiag.

Normally you should post the entire dxdiag, but I googled the model and it comes with the Nvidia 8200M card. You may want to try http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11167

okay but how do I install it? I downloaded it, then what? That was the site I downloaded it from earlier, I even read the How to install guide and it was waaay too complicated.

(I have never used this mod, since I have ATI cards but it should just be like any other .esp/.esm file)
1) Download http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2097or use the built in Data Files in the launcher.
2) Download the blackscreen fix listed above, and place the .esp file in ....\Oblivion\Data
3) Then use the data files launcher or the OBMM and make a mark next to the file.
