BleepingComputer.com: Oblivion

Hey all! I cannot run my Oblivion game. I have updated all drivers, installed new video card and still cannot get game to run... any suggestions? I REALLY want to play this thing! Thanks in advance!

What exactly is going wrong? Are there any error messages or anything like that or are you just clicking on the icon and nothing happens?

Have you checked for game patches from the Oblivion site?
By "cannot run" what do you mean? It would be important in helping you to know precisely what happens and when it happens (what you are doing at the time) and any error messages you may get.
Regards,
John

I have downloaded all patches from the web site. when I dble. click the icon, screen goes black and error message about the appcompat.txt file. this is inside the error report windows wants to send is this enough info or do you need more? I tried copying the exact wording but won't let me copy. Thanks for the help!

Possibly something happened with the file and a reinstall might fix it?

does anyone know the system requirements of this game??
