Hey, I'm having the exact same problem. I just got this computer, with Windows Vista (which so far I don't like), but it'll run Oblivion just fine. Morrowind keeps giving me messages needing to resize, I click yes on all of them, then I get an error message that Morrowind has encountered an error and must close. I don't understand why it will run Oblivion but not Morrowind. I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 card, and I've installed all the updates. Can anyone please help?
Also, one other thing, in Oblivion I can't open the console with the ~ key? Why is that. I chose US for the keyboard, do I need to change it?
