When I go to use the construction set and try to load up the oblivion.esm fle, I only get few pecent through the load when the program stops responding. Any idea as to why this might be happening? I do have the 1.2 version of the game, so compatability shouldnt be an issue. Now I am using windows vista and do have a bunch of mods insalled as well. Could these things have any affect on the load? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

First, are you loading just Oblivion.esm, or all of your mods as well? Try it with just Oblivion.esm.
Otherwise, Vista and the CS don't get along too well. Some suggestions from the forums
  • Disable User Account Control
  • Install Oblivion to a directory OTHER than Program Files
  • Try compatibility mode, but you may not need this step (mine runs fine without it)
  • try going to your program files folder and make sure that read only is unchecked. I had a similar issue with the company of heroes beta and that fixed it. Oh and goto security and make sure that your username has full access. I wouldn't rely on running as administrator to ever do anything. I've seen it work maybe 5% of the time. and even then there is some other dumb security feature that you still have to get around.
