| Hi, can anyone help me? I can't get Oblivion GOTY edition to run on my laptop. It stops responding at the last intro movie. If I disable the intro movies it then stops responding at the initial load screen.
Laptop specs: Lenovo 3000 N100, Windows XP SP3, T2300 processor @ 1.66Ghz, 2GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300, SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio.

I don't believe your processor is powerful enough and that your memory is
not sufficent. And your integrated audio chip could be a problem as well.
You might consider checking out Old-blivion:
http://www.oldblivion.com/
It's supposed to allow Oblivion to run on systems below the minimum
requirements.
Good luck.

I doubt that you have a general hardware problem: some time ago I made
some sort of "software torture test" successfully executing Oblivion on
a Pentium III running at 500MHz with 512MB of RAM, an old ISA-Soundcard
and a Geforce FX5700VE graphic card on Windows 2000 with SP4. Well, it
didn't "run" but it definitely loaded and started and I was able to
create a character and walk around. My guess is, that it might be a
problem with your SP3 - I haven't tried Oblivion on XPSP3-machines yet. >> Stay informed about: Help! I Can't get Oblivion to work on my laptop. |

I've got an assassin up to 26th level - starting-out with SP 3 installed.
So the latest service pack for XP hasn't been an issue for me.

I can't speak for the other parts of their system, but the memory
should be enough for it to at least run, if not perform well. I had it
running on an XP machine with only 1Gb of RAM. >> Stay informed about: Help! I Can't get Oblivion to work on my laptop. |

'run, but not perform well'... he did say it was loading.... does that
consitute 'running'?
<weak grin>
I looked at the back of my shivering Isles's box - it says 1 gig of RAM is
recommended. So it's probably not the ram.

oblivion - the physics engine oblivion will use is the Hvoc engine same one from half-life 2 the screenshots on elderscrolls.com are awesome it looks so realistic and the graphics are better than halo2
Oblivion - So... when will it come out? In time for Christmas?
Oblivion - Ok so not strictly speaking a Morrowind question but I do play Morrowind ... .... my specs are those of the PCG-V505EX VAIO computer i.e. a.. Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz Processor b.. 512MB PC2700 Memory (2GB Maximum) c.. 60GB Hard Drive d.. 24x..
What's up with Oblivion??? - Now pushed back to 3/20/06? I guess I shouldn't cry about not getting my 360 until January, since this game was the selling point for the 360 for me ( though I do have Kameo and PDZ collecting dust at the house right now). |
