I cant play on my pc for some reason it says "oblivion has encountered a problem and needs to close" why is this?

Anonymous May 11, 2010

What operating system do you have? What graphics card do you have? Do you have the latest Oblivion patch installed? Are yu using Shivering Isles or any other mod?

It is usuall one of a few reasons:

Your system may not meet their minimum standards.

Minimum System Requirements:
- Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows XP 64-bit
- 512MB System RAM
- 2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
- 128MB Direct3D compatible video card
- and DirectX 9.0 compatible driver;
- 8x DVD-ROM drive
- 4.6 GB free hard disk space
- DirectX 9.0c (included)
- DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
- Keyboard, Mouse

You need to update the game or download a patch.

You may need to scan your computer real good for a virus.

If all else false un-install it and re-install it. let me know if these help you.

The reason why your Xbox 360 keeps on freezing is because you will soon encounter the red ring of death or the E74 error. to simply solve this error check out this vid

Uninstall the game and delete any related files or folders.
Reboot your computer.

make sure you log on as administrator and that there are no security programs running (anti virus, registry editors, spyware) and reinstall the game.

The shivering isles isn't in anvil. First go to your map, scroll to bravil and look off to the right in the water. You should see a small piece of land that you can travel to, this is the door to shivering isles. I have this game, its amazing!

My controller works but I cant look around w/ it?

So you mean the Dual action is supported by default in Oblivion? Or did you set up commands using a profiler software? I am familiar with Logitech Game Profiler so I will tell you what you need to in it.

Left click on "Right Stick X-axis" -> Axis Properties -> At the bottom, "Right Stick X-Axis mapped to", choose Mouse X-Axis.

Now do the same for Y axis. Works in every game.
