Oblivion Elderscrolls Wont Load

i just bought the Oblivion Elderscrolls game of the year edition and it
installed and everything but when i click play a little window pops up
and another one saying Oblivion has stopped working. Can someone help me
on how to fix this?

This is wat my comp has

Windows Vista Home Premium

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2160 @ 1.80 GHz
Memory: 1.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit OS

First thing I notice is that your RAM could use an upgrade! Also, what
kind of video card are you running? You may need to either update drivers or
upgrade the video card to something that can handle Oblivion. A lot of
times, HP computers will only have a basic video card (and it sounds like it
if your PC only came with 1 GB of RAM) that cannot handle many 3D games.

Good call, I overlooked the ram thinking video.

Post the model number of the computer it's usually on a sticker on the
side of most HPs, it's like Media Center a123n or something like that.

Video card upgrade, ram upgrade - might be necessary just to get the game
to run.

You can try getting updated drivers for the video card in the meantime,
go to http://support.hp.com - find your computer model number using
search then download the video drivers from the downloads section.

http://www.microsoft.com/directx - get the latest directx files, you want
to follow the links to DirectX for Gamers (not developers), and download
the latest directx should net you the file DXWEBSETUP.EXE, run that,
follow the prompts while online.
