Yeah, well, since recently, Oblivion was running perfectly(minus a few minor gameplay issues, but w/e). And I don't know what caused it, but the next time I ran it, the game just showed up as a small black box on the top left corner of the screen, and then closed. I tried reinstalling everything(Removed EVERYTHING, including the mods, because it wouldn't remove them the first time I tried), and the same thing happened. I installed a few mods before actually trying to run the newly-reinstalled Oblivion, but Idk if they're the problem. Help please?

It doesn't sound to me as if your system is good enough (strong enough) to add any "Mods" at all, other than the so-called performance mods. Let's see your system summary report, and operating system summary, right? (Outline provided below)

Basic Hardware Specification Chart (Empty so far)

Processor Manufacturer: AMD / Intel
Processor Name / Type: Athlon 64 / Pentium / C2D / dual core / quad, etc.
Processor Speed: ?.? Ghz (or AMD Performance Number)
Operating System / Service Pack: WindowsXP with SP #?, Win7, Vista ? (Oh, no!)
System RAM: ? ? GBs (MBs, if less than 1024 ? )
Video (GPU) Manufacturer: ATI / Nvidia (only those two are supported, PERIOD, so please answer which of them you have)
Video Card Model: (examples) Radeon HD 5670 / Geforce GT 240
Video Card Driver Version: Catalyst ?.? / Nforce ??.??
. . (please use the numbers, not the word "latest")
Video Card onboard RAM: ? ? ? MBs
Sound Card Manufacturer:
Sound Card Model:

(And this is only for the raw hardware & driver variations. Potential software conflicts are far more likely to be game play problems, and developers cannot test for all possible program loads.)

Some of the techno-geek folks here will ask for a complete DxDiag Report, which seems like real SUPER overkill from my point of view.

P. S. Please use every day business style paragraph breaks, punctuation, and spelling.

This amounts to a "fill in the blanks" form, including the P.S.

Well, sorry, I usually just type everything out, not really trying to organize my post so that people can read it easier(If that's what you're trying to say), but I don't think it's a problem of how good my computer is, and although I'm incredibly stupid when it comes to finding the specifications/properties/w.e of a computer, but my computer is fairly(About 5 or so weeks old? idk), but yeah, it's pretty new. And sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say or anything. Also, I'm afraid I have no idea what business style paragraph breaks, punctuation and spelling are.

Please post a dxdiag:
Start - Run (if Vista or Win 7, the search box acts like Run) - type dxdiag - hit Enter - "save all info" button - open txt file and copy/paste EVERYTHING here

Nvm, problem solved, apparently had something to do with Deadly Reflex actually requiring the Horse Combat file even though it's disabled. Sorry for the trouble.

I'm not going to read one of those, myself, which is why I never ask anyone to include one. Meanwhile, for the author of this thread, just because *YOU* think you want a second message thread is not an adequate reason to clutter up the forum with multiple threads, considering you already have a current, active thread that you haven't finished answering yet.

No you don't. I built my own PC for less than $450 and it plays a modded Oblivion and Fallout 3 with little to no crashing or problems. It isn't hard to get things working correctly, you just have to pay attention to what others have gone through before you. Follow the advice on the forums and set-up your computer properly. I can count on both hands the TOTAL amount of times Oblivion or FO3 has crashed for me.

Building a PC is not possible for me at the moment. I do not know how and don't know anybody who does. I am learning about computer hardware at school and we will probably get into building PCs, I want to make sure I know what I am doing first. So now my only options are to get a new PC or upgrade my current.

It isn't hard. There are tons of videos on youtube that will show you how. It was the first one I ever built too, and it was very far from being "hard" or "not possible." I will never buy a prebuilt system again. Such a waste of money and you never get exactly what you want.

EDIT: Watch this guys videos. He shows you everything step by step (except a video card, but that is just plug and play) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdTTlcdPqTg

I don't think I've seen you make a post where you aren't a dike.

Problem solved.
