Oblivion crashes after tutorial?
I have a mediocre knowledge of computers so I was hoping to find some pointers here.
I have Windows 7 Evaluation Copy 7100, 2GB of RAM and the processor is an Intel Celeron CPU, 430 @ 1.80 GHz. It says my Windows Experience Index is a 3.2 out of 7.9?
I have to GOTY edition and it's legitimate, I bought it last week again because I tried to re-install it on my new computer (described above) but the game disk was messed up.
Like I said before, I have a general knowledge of whats going on here- I apparently don't know how to get this game to run properly though. So here's the problem: the game starts up and runs surprisingly well through the tutorial, but when I finally enter the sewers and it has to load the environment for the first time it crashes. I read this in a different thread:
"I fixed mine by setting my video settings correctly using the autorun setup off the disk. Seems it would hang because the video was set too low."
I half-understand what that says- if you set the video quality too low it can mess up how well the game actually runs? Do I even meet the specs to run this game properly or do I need to upgrade before it will even work? And if it's a matter of drivers, I'm not 100% sure on how that works but if I'm told how to do it I can work through it off written directions and context. Basically I just need help! Thank you,
