Problem
First, the game loads fine, videos play and all is well. However, when I press "New Game", it shows a prompt confirming that action - clicking yes, the prompt disappears and nothing happens.
The loading screen also does not load properly. It shows the original Oblivion tips, yet has a white loading bar that doesn't move.
Details
OS: Windows Vista
GFX: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530
>I'm not using the steam version of Oblivion.
>Nehrim has been installed outside of program files.
>I'm running both Nehrim and Oblivion as Administrator... still nothing.
>All .esp/.esm data files are selected, and in order. (Nehrim.esm, NehrimData.esp, NehrimEnglish.esp)
>I have tried restarting. (Turning it off and on again)
>I have tried re-installing Nehrim separately, un-installing it. Than re-installing Oblivion and Nehrim. No luck on either.
>The copy of Nehrim I have does work, it worked perfectly well on a Windows XP computer - all that was need was selected master files.
>When loading an old save from Oblivion, it asks for the Oblivion master file. - expected, but I'll throw that in here.
I'm assuming this could be a problem with Vista... I honestly don't know. I'm hoping it can be fixed without yet another re-install. It's seriously taken me about 4-6 hours to try and get the game to work, and still no luck. Has anyone solved it? All the other threads/posts I look at just explain to restart, re-install, or select the master files. I've done all and still no luck.
Will I have to re-install Oblivion to a place other than Program Files, or is that just Nehrim?
Cheers!
