hi i have recently bought elder scrolls 4 goty and been having a blast. but today when i tried to load my save it shows the loading screen for just a second and then it crashes to desktop while the games music is playing in the background then a error screen pops up on the desktop screen saying the oblivion has suffered a serious error and had to be shut down. i tried other saves and they don't work ether the only saves that work are the ones before or during the hackdirt quest any saves after it crash. I'm only at day 16 and at level 5. i need help as i cant keep playing if  i am not able to save.

the error signature says: app-name oblivion.exe    app-version 1.2.0.416  mod-name oblivion.exe

modver 1.2.0.416 offset 0028e53f

my computer is a windows xp hp pavilion a810n with a agp his radeon hd4670 iceq.

also three notes 

note 1 is im typing this on my dads computer as the one with oblivion installed dose not have Internet.

note 2 is just before this problem started i ignored a pop up from hp for searching to update drivers as it may require Internet.

note3 i did indeed install knights of nine and shivering isle.

please help me fix this game.

thanks.

Did it have a disc in the tray when it opened? Wondering because my XBox 360 has a similar problem when there is no disc in the tray. You have to hit open like 30 times before it actually opens, or open it manually with the paperclip method. But as long as a disc is in the tray, there are zero problems. Strangely enough, my external DVD-drive on my PC does the same thing, but the stock drive on the tower is fine.

yeah it did have a disc in it when I first opened it.

now im wondering will this be a reacuring problem?

If it is the same problem, then easy fix: Just keep a disc in the tray at all times.

ok ill give that a try. thank you warrior
