I used to play a Direct2Drive version of Oblivion, which I have since uninstalled. I recently bought a DVD version and have installed that...but I can't get it to start. After I choose 'play game' from the splash screen, the Bethesda logo screen comes up, and then the program crashes. Sometimes I get an "out of memory" style error, eg. "oblivion tried to write memory location xxxxxx", and sometimes I just get the task manager window, saying there's a problem and the program has to close.
I am wondering if perhaps there are some files left behind from my old install that are screwing things up? I thought I'd got them all, but maybe not. Or could it be something else. I do have up to date graphics drivers and my hard drive is de-fragged and all of that obvious stuff.
I'm running Windows XP 32-bit.
My computer exceeds all the minimum req's for the game, indeed my original D2D version worked well. But, FWIW I have dual 6800 GT's and a 3.0 Pentium D processor. I'm using the Forceware 94.24 drivers.
