Nevermind, I got it fixed. I just allowed windows to update with one of the optional updates for my graphics card. :facepalm:

Hi,
I have windows 7 64 bit and I have been experiencing 3 different problems with the standard version of Oblivion.
1. The game will start up and stop working almost immediately
2. The game will be running fine and freeze temporarily while the screen goes black and then restores. Then it will run again and a small message will appear at the bottom of the screen denoting a failure and recovery of the graphics driver.
3. The game will freeze my entire computer
Comp Info:
Lenovo G550 laptop
CPU: Pentium dual core T4200 2.00GHz
RAM: 4GB
Video: Mobile Intel 45 Express Chipset Family
Please help!
Thanks
Navigate to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution. Leaving the screen resolution window open while starting Oblivion allowed the game to start with no problem for me. This also fixed an issue I had running Starcraft in full color. Not too sure why this works, but give it a try.
hello, im sorry if i'm reviving an old thread but im having a slightly different problem. I used to run windows vista ultimate 64-bit and oblivion worked just fine for me. But now i have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit and i can't run oblivion. i can start up a new game but once it gets to the first scene with the emperor talking and i skip it, (or wait for it to play all the way through) it gets that message that it stops working and shuts down. can anyone help me?
oh yeah i should probably post my specs
2 gigs of ram, an amd turion (tm) 64 X2 mobile technology tl-58 1.9 Ghz processor
and a NVIDIA Geforce 7000m/ Geforce 610M display. but i broke my laptop screen and i use an external monitor that has been capable of running oblivion in the past
look at my thread for my solution i had the same problem and figured it out!

Lo chaps,
I've got the same problem too I'm afraid, I orginally copied Oblivion across from Vista to Win7, same machine just updating the OS. When I copied it across I couldn't play it since the machine didn't know it was installed (no regestries) so I moved the folder and re-installed using the disk. Now even the vanilla game with the disk just throws the desktop up as soon as it starts up, sometimes it gets to the Bethesda logo, sometimes I see a split second of the Oblivion logo before it dies. I've tried with my old install as well (bloody tonnes of mods ;D) and same story, I've removed the Oblivion folder from MyDocs/MyGames and still no luck. My game is totally up to date, tired the original vanilla like I said with the disk and the old install with the no-cd and still nothing. I have made sure my graphics drivers are up to date and following the advice of some of the other threads I tried installing the DX9 update from Microsoft and still crashes on start-up.
I'm really stuck here guys, any advice?
I know this is an old thread but I had the same problem solved by the following weirdness. :)
New install (so config files were all new) and latest patch as well as Shivering Isles installed. Oblivion couldnt recognize hardware (3870) and set to standard. Crashed at startup.
I got dual screen setup (one 24 wide and one 22 wide - DVI connections) on Win7 64 Ultimate.
After a while i got mad and just set the video resolution to maximum (which also is the screen maximum/native setting) and screen effects to HDR (but no aliasing so far).
THEN it worked! Any other setting and crash. Really weird I thought. Been running 20 minutes now and seems to work. Even copying old savegames over works.
Just wanted to share.
