I am also having a problem running Civ 4 and Oblivion, the only 2 games I have tried to install on this new system so far.
I think it is something about trying to check the Cd's that is causing it. I have about 5 Windows screens that pop up before I can tell the game yes check the Cd. And then it crashes.
I am too disgusted right now to try anything fancy.
It is promising to know that these games have been working for others.

Thanks
That checks out.
I should have specced a video upgrade for about $35 and maybe I would also have been able to dual screen.
I don't game much anyways so it is not a big deal but I was trying to figure it out for a while today why it wouldn't work and that was frustrating.
Missing the Vid Card option is also sort of sad.

I need help too
I'm not sure where I should post this, but I'm still having problems with Oblivion as well as most other games I have.
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit the day before yesterday after having Vista Home Premium (I think it was premium. It came with the laptop anyway).
I used to play Oblivion on that computer a lot. In fact, I had been playing it right before I decided to go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7. So after the upgrade, everything was gone. The computer was clean (Don't worry I backed everything up
).
I installed Oblivion after getting Windows Security Essentials. Now, before, on Vista, Oblivion played only on Very Low settings. It did't lag too much, and I was fine with the graphics. It's still a pretty awesome game on Very Low. I thought that the upgrade to Windows 7 would bring it up to maybe Low, but when I told Oblivion to configure itself automatically, it chose Medium.
I was pretty happy, but then, it crashed right when the window appeared. I tried a couple other games like Jade Empire, and Caesar IV. They crashed before starting too. However, Seven Kingdoms II worked fine.
I heard about the Directx 11 that comes with Windows 7 and how it's not usually compatible with certain graphics cards and was wondering if there is a fix for it. For the past two days, I've been trying to find this because I was sure other people had had this problem before, but I didn't really find anything definitive or what worked.
If anyone would help I'd really appreciate it.
Some Facts:
I've run:
DXSDK_Mar09
dxwebsetup.exe from the microsoft website
15.49_nforce_winvista_win7_64bit_international_whql.exe => the driver that I got from nVidia website for nForce windows 7 64 bit
My computer's specs:
HP Pavilion dv6000 =>It's three years old. But, I played Empire: Total War, Medieval: Total War, Europa Universalis III and Oblivion on it with no problems. So I know this computer is capable.
Processor is a AMD Turion 64 x2 Mobile Technology
nVidia nForce [something] I can't remember. Windows 7 just calls it "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter". But that's not what Vista called it. I was pretty sure I had a graphics card.
2GB Ram
Sorry about the long post. I just don't know what to do.
