Re: Oblivion error

some games requires some additional components to run well, like the C++ redistributable, get it from here:

Re: Oblivion error

Hmm, maybe if you gave us the type of slot on your motherboard and your PSU we could recommend some good ones.

Re: Oblivion error

if you are running a laptop, you are out of luck, cause the majority of the video cards in laptop can't be upgraded
if you have a Desktop, download CPUz from my sig and open it
select "mainboard" tab and take a screenshot of it and post it here

download CPUz from my signature
open it and click on "Mainboard" tab
take a screenshot (by pressing the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard) open Paint and paste it in, save it and post it here, (click on the attachment button near the happy face)

Re: Oblivion error

If you do want to be able to run Oblivion and Crysis I can recommend a $600 (just the tower) new PC that will be able to run any game just fine.

Your computer is not worth upgrading from just telling me youve a 400 series graphics card from Nvidia. I will give you a computer that is upgradable and very stable.

Re: Oblivion error

as I said, you are out of luck
the intel graphic cards are not meant for games but for work
and your motherboard doesn't have any VGA slots, is it a laptop or a desktop?
not having a VGA slot means that you can't get a Video card

Re: Oblivion error

Looks like you're going to have to get a new computer if you want to play Oblivion.
