I have already tried the sound to 24bit 48000...but the issue is still there with me not being able to even get to the cinema (if there is one, I havent seen one yet). Can someone please help me; I really want to play this game!

In the same boat as you. If you sit at the dragon (Which looks like it's having a seizure) Long enough it just disappears right? No error message, just right to the desktop?

EXACTLY. thats where im at, and it's sort of discouraging. i've been waiting for this moment to play the epic game, not stare at the epic dragon! LMFAO

Yeah, had enough with this for tonight, its quarter past 3, I'm going to bed. Better be fixed in the morning

^ this. have a good night cruel world!

I know it svcks, welcome to Bethesda gaming, set graphics to high and then disable AA. I have a GTX 480 and anytime I activate AA or try the "ultra" setting I experience the same problem. Well actually the "ultra" setting locked up my whole PC and I had to do a hard reboot so thanks for that guys

LOL at gamesas.

so did we get it fixed yet?

I had this problem for a while. Although mine was fixed by running windows update, and updating a bunch of stuff. Perhaps try that?

I have windows vista, i dont know what you have. but i'll try it later when i get home...i just made this computer and updated as much as i could the day prior to the game. but whatever attempts it takes to play this darn game, ill try it.
