Oblivion... Again.

[Steven917]

Okay, I un-install and re-install Oblivion each time I'm going to web-browse (which I admit is a bit dumb, I think it might have been what caused this problem.)

So when I attempted to install Oblivion again, it installs correctly and stuff, double click the launcher, and the whole Play, Data Files, Options thing comes up, click play:



Debug closes it, so that doesn't help. When I click the blue text that says 'click here' this comes up:



Click blue text AGAIN:



What it completely says: (Wall of text below... I dunno if it'll help... I don't even understand it.)

DXREDIST is a folder I found when right-clicking Oblivion and explore, if that helps. (If you bothered to read it all.) All of the files listed above (That I tried to understand) are also in the disc... So should I extract those into the Oblivion directory...?

(Another question)

Will 31GB be enough to have not so much lag? For Internet browsing and gaming. (I plan on deleting some stuff.)

Hi Steven, could you please follow the steps in this thread.

As long as you have more than 15% free space on your HDD you will be fine. You need 15% space in-order to properly defragment your HDD.
