First off my system:
WIN 7HP64
AMD PHENOM II x6 2.8 GHZ
1xATI RADEON SAPPHIRE HD 6950 2GB
KINGSTON 14 GB (1x2gb/3x4gb) DDR3 1600MHZ RAM
FO3/FO NV/CUBE EXPERIMENTAL
OBLIVION Orig/OBLIVION GOTY/NEHRIM
Ok, I have scoured these forums(And google) and have yet to find someone else with the same symptoms that I'm experiencing with this game, note that I have not only previously installed/ran this game successfully in the past but have also dealt with the same issue as well...And yes, I ran this in admin/compat-mode and checked off the proper data files and updated everything imaginable, from my video to my sound.
I always install my game in ! TZO_VideoGame, or ! TZO_Games with not a single issue for any of my games whatsoever since 2003 over 3 OS'es, if it was an issue, then widows wouldn't allow this character >(!)< in naming a folder.
Now with that in mind, I am having difficulties in starting a new/reloading a game while running both FO3/Cube and Oblivion/Nehrim the symptoms are as follows: First there is no music or sound playing at the intro screen, and when I try to start a new/load game, the game freezes, now here's the sucky thing, when I completely un/reinstalled both FO3 and Oblivion (Including Nehrim/Cube, every mod, mod tools, ini files, save files, user files, and reg file!) and these games still have the exact symptoms when reinstalled, (With nary a single mod or save game at all...Ever!) so as it now stands both my Oblivion and FO3 will, not, work, at, all! The stinking irony is that FO NV actually runs, but with the exact same symptoms save for the fact that I cannot shut down the game without a task manager prog-kill! Also I even uninstalled FO NV and steam plus I re-updated/checked integrity to the same end. When I did have success running the games/mods I had to kill both games via Task Manager.
Any help would be appreciated from the devs (Errr, Modders) and moderators/exp'd modders for any info they could share on this, I would like to ask; what registry settings does Cube and Nehrim make to my system?

BUMP, So no one has experienced this same thing?
An update, I started up Oblivion with my other account and it ran EXCELLENT..I even started a new game, but when I tried to load an old save, it froze again, so I started it back up with the same symptoms..So it looks like it's a mod that corrupted my old saves (It's impossible to find out which one) If I ever get this to work again, (and I also would love to pass this info out to any newbies) I will never install another mod unless It's been run through a cleaner and even then never another overhaul mod again! It causes too many headaches...BTW, SureAI doesn't do Overhauls, they make total conversions Big Difference!
I'm going to make another user account, because this game cannot for some reason run on my main account...EVEN with all the saves in storage this game (And FO3 will not start!) Hell, I even disabled my anti virus/Firewall but to no avail! If anyone has an idea, why a game without mods installed, and no saves are available would cease to function, I'd really like to hear it.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

So I hope this solution will at least help someone else who has this problem, and NOW I get to go back to Nehrim!!

Holy CRAP, You were right! I turned my system upside-down for the solution, I didn't think is was the sound because I already had K-Lite codec pack 64 installed...But what I didn't know is that I had another 32 bit K-lite pack installed as well, so I uninstalled the 32 bit prog and VIOLA! I'm back! Thanks a lot, it's true what they say, that it's often the simplest and overlooked step that is the solution!
