    Looks like what you need to do is make sure all your drives and codecs are up to date. Also check your dxdiag for any current conflics.

    Cannot get it to work - no icons provided, and crashes if loaded directly - help please! - Bethesda Softworks Forums

    Have not played the game but if using 7, have you tried to right click and run as admin

    Also, you can try to run in vista and XP compatibility modes to see if makes a difference.

    Unfortunately I figured out the problem. I don't have a powerful enough graphics card in my laptop, so I'm out 40 bucks. Thanks for all the help guys.
