Crazy Oblivion Problem
Alright.. Im new to the forums.. and I have read the other oblivion threads. I will try to make sense of this and I hope at least 1 person understands my problem. Im not good with this computer lingo but I'll try.
First problem was Oblivion wasnt working on my computer I bought. Windows 7 obviously. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.100226-1909)
I read some solutions online and went to start menu searched oblivion.. i got two.. oblivion and oblivion elder scrolls.. when i go to properties on elder scrolls it doesnt give me the compatibility tab. So i hit properties on the other one. Now.. I tried alot of things on it.. the only thing that worked was disable desktop composition. Boom it worked.. score. ( PS: My initial problem was i would play game at the menu then it would boot me out saying it found a problem and my screen would go black.
Ok, now I bought a xbox PC controller to play with it cause I am aware of the setup better. When i try and use it i have no right joystick and certain buttons wouldnt work. Trust me , I tried everthing in game to fix this problem. So what I did was download the Pinicale Game Profiler cause i read in other forums that that will fix the problem. Now, I set that all up.. but when it picks the oblivion and u try to start the game from the game profiler menus.. cause thats what u have to do.. im back to square one.. screen goes blank.. and it kicks me out saying has a problem and searching for solutions and all that bull. So wtf ? There are more than one launchers on my oblivion. I am assuming that when I attached the game to the game profiler.. it picked one of those launcher icons that dont have the compatability options like i stated earlier. Thats my theory.. but all that work and for nothing.. (Simple answer? go buy different controller right?) Is there a different answer that doesnt require me going out to buy another conrtoller? I swear.. this stuff only happens to me.
