Oblivion help, please!!!

I know this topic is in NUMEROUS other threads, even on NUMEROUS other forums! I have tried all the suggested fixes: oldblivion, updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling over and over, everything! Nothing works.....

My system specs are as follows:

HP dv2500 notebook
AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 TL-58 1.9GHz
1983MB RAM
32-bit Vista Home Premium

GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M
Integrated RAMDAC
Total available graphics memory: 799MB
Dedicated graphics memory: 64MB
Shared system memory: 735MB

Here's a detailed description of what happens:

I install oblivion, everything starts fine.

At the launcher, I change my graphics settings to very low so i can get the best performance, and then I launch Oblivion.

I started a new game, I made a Dark Elf. Then I get to where you choose your sign, I chose The Steed. Go through the basic tutorial catacombs, kill the goblins, etc. Then, I finally get to where I meet back up with the emperor and make my pathetic attempt at trying to save him. He dies, the blades guard talks to me about my destiny, I choose a class, I make a custom class, etc.

After I'm through with all that, I go to the manhole for the sewers, press the action button and the loading screen appears. The loading bar fills up and THEN the screen goes black and I get the message saying that Oblivion had to close.


ANY suggestions at all will be MORE than welcome. Thank you all!

Hello Mr_Silver and welcome to Lockergnome!

I've never run Oblivion though Vista so my help is kinda limited.

Have you tried drivers from the laptopvideo2go website?

Have you tried running the game in compatibility mode?
