how do i install Oblivion??


Issue with installation:

"Cyllic Redundancy Check", it never gets past C:/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Oblivion - Meshes.bsa



my computer is a HP Pavillion
2.7 GHz Processor
9.10GB Memory
CD-ROM Drive
DVD-ROM Drive
Intel Extreme Intergrated graphics with up to 64MB shared video memory

and the suckiest graphics card on earth: ATI RADEON 9250
Yep, it was all good untill i mentioned the graphics card.

what do i do to install oblivion?
ich bin Dedas
ich könnte bald ein neuer Spiel-Prüfer sein

aber niemand versteht wirklich, was ich, so sage, was tut es Sache, was ich sage? niemand wird ... außer ... verstehen, den Sie, die Deutschen auf Rätsel-Piraten im Opalserver für, so, Deutschen wissen

I have no idea; this question will be better answered at the Bethesda forums. How can you play Oblivion with a 9250 anyway? I'm pretty sure that it will never run with that card.

You know what's also popular? Enormous flying cities and ridable dragons. Maybe TR should invest in navigable ships and underwater cities.

Try checking the disk for scratches or dust. CRCs are when the computer attempts to read the disk after failure. After several failures, it stops and gives you that CRC error.

It may mean a bad spot on the disk.

The worst case scenario is your hard drive is going bad, but it's a mostly a CD/DVD thing. Try loading it up on another computer to see if it installs. If it does, it may be your CD/DVD or Hard drive.

Sorry I'm not a computer expert. :P

Hope you get it working!

One more thing, if you want to get OB to run smoother on your 9250, you should look into getting Oldoblivion. :)
