    Try reinstalling your game over the top of your current installation

    Have you tried using add/remove programs?

    Have you tried running setup.exe or whatever from the DVD?

    I've got vista and that doesn't have an add or remove programs but I have deleted every oblivion file I can find also how do you get to setup.exe

    Explore the CD and is should be on there somewhere. It might not be called setup.exe but it should be sometime shimilar.

    PS deleting everything is a bad idea. It leaves stuff in your registry.

    So how do I get it off my registry and I have deleted even the bethesda file there is now part of oblivion on my computer apart from the mods

    Well, you needed to uninstall it, but you deleted everything instead. The best way to get rid of the stuff is to reinstall it over the top and then uninstall it properly.

    Somewhere on the dvd, maybe in a folder called bin.

    I can't check right now, give me a few hours and I'll tell you more.

    I have to go now, my lunch hour is over.

    Lol. I am not sure about this, but when you go into My Computer, you know your E: Drive or CD Drive, right-click that, then click explore, if you scroll down you will the setup.exe file. But now my one stuffed up, see if anything works with yours.

    Ye, mine doesn't work for sure! The installation is stuck on C:\.. \DSETUP.dll. I am not sure why. Anyway, I have another solution. Somebody on www.extremeoverclockforums.com said that you need to donwload a respectable application. You may know of it. It is called Direct X. What's wrong aparently I that you don't have it. So the guy said to downlaod directx_dec2005_redist.exe. I can't download it fast cause I went over my usage cap. Its around 46.1 MB.

    ... try that
