CTD before main menu

[Deotern300]

Maybe someone here can help me. I get Oblivion (Steam GOTY version) working fine and then anytime the computer restarts it crashes before loading the main menu, right after the titles. Usually this can be fixed by deleting the Oblivion INI and loading up the game without mods and then reloading with them. This time however nothing seems to be working. I am getting really frustrated as I will get the game working near perfect for a few days or weeks at a time but if for any reason the computer is restarted it's back to CTD. It is making me think Window 7 is changing something each time....

You must have done something.

 

You say " I get Oblivion (Steam GOTY version) working fine .... "

If you have changed nothing, no new Mod , no changed setting,...  it should work. If you have installed new Mods , uninstall the Mods.

Have you updated your Graphics card driver?   Use the old driver.

You say " It is making me think Window 7 is changing something ... "   A windows update ?  If yes , uninstall the last update.

Or a Antivirus program update ?  Set Oblivion in the "exceptions list" ( I have to do it to use the CS. With the previous Anti virus program I had to set the game to the "exceptions list" but the CS worked.  It happened from one day to the next that the game did not work anymore. )

Putting Oblivion into the exceptions list on my antivirus seems to have done the trick. Not sure why the antivirus decided all of a sudden to not let Oblivion run but it works now. Thank you very much.
