BreathTaker he/him Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Alright so, long story short. I have Oblivion GOTY on my laptop and I wanted to uninstall it and reinstall it because it was acting wonky. Turns out, a lot of the info I need to uninstall it is on my crashed hard drive and now it won't uninstall and when I try to run the install program it says that I'm using some kind of Virtual something or another and it won't let me change it. HELP!
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I spent all of yesterday troubleshooting Oblivion GOTY for Steam, so I'll do my best to help. What exactly is happening? (A screenshot or Copy/Paste Would be Nice) And are you installing from a disk or from Steam? And most importantly, have you googled your problem? 2
BreathTaker he/him Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 I'll screenshot tonight when i get home from work. I'm installing from disk and yeah I've googled it but no one has had a problem like this where it won't let me uninstall or reinstall but the game runs just fine. It also won't load up disk 2 and my Nexus isn't working.

Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 And How is the game acting Wonky?
BreathTaker he/him Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 It's more that Nexus is saying... aaand I deleted Nexus. *facepalm* I don't even remember why I was trying to uninstall it, I'm an idiot. Never mind Joe, thanks for showing interest.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 No Problem. I've had to ask for help on things like this all the time, so I feel sympathy for others in the same boat.
Unodus he/him Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Have you contacted steam support? :V (Edit: Sorry for necroing a week old thread, but if the issue persists- that's the place to go .3.; ) Edited April 10, 2015 by Unodus
Bort he/him Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Going to take a guess here. You (OP) have two hard drives. One with your operating system, and one for storage/other programs? It was your second drive that crashed? If the answers to both of these questions is yes, then it is probably a registry error. Run Ccleaner, or something similar (Any registry cleaner will do), to remove unused entries from your registry, then reboot, and try reinstall. That should fix the problem. 1
