I just bought a new computer with Vista, which I love. However, we installed
Oblivion with no problem, but when we try to play it, it says there is an
error and shuts down.

Any ideas??

I running Oblivion on Vista x64, haven't gotten far through the game but so
far no problems. Best suggestion I can give you is to reinstall the game
and see if that makes a difference.

Choose to run the game as an administrator or try the compatibility tab and
set this to Windows XP

You can also try changing the HDR - Bloom - Anti-Aliasing options. If I
remember correctly my game would continually crash if I had it set to Bloom
mode.

I have the same issue.................. I tried all of the fixes posted
and nothing has worked.
Not sure how to change the compatibility mode to XP though.

Did you try finding a newer version of the installer, one that works with
visa?
