I tried installing Oblivion and its not working....please he

[Demonic_Elmo]

I installed Oblivion on my PC, and whenever i try playing it, a black blank box appears in the top left hand corner.... and then an error report pops up and this is the error signature
AppName: oblivion.exe AppVer: 0.1.0.228 ModName: oblivion.exe
ModVer: 0.1.0.228 Offset: 000912a6

i think it might be my graphics card, im running a GeForce MX 4000 is that good enough to run oblivion?

I dont think that your graphics card is supported or is even powerful enough to run oblivion. It has to support pixel shader 2 I think.

Your graphics card isn't good enough ..... Oblivion is really graphics intensive and even owneres with newer cards stuggle to get decent frame rates.

either that or you're using a cracked .exe / software emulator to run it
