Everytime I go into Oblivion now, I always get really annoying graphic bugs. This can't be related with my graphics card, since I haven't changed it. This started happening in the last few days. I have screenshots. The settings I am on are the default "Very Low" ones with the exception of the fact that I set the grass slider all the way down.
This screenshot is my main error. It makes these ugly patches of... ugliness all over the place. It dissapears if I'm in first person and the camera goes below the level of these. After the camera goes above them again, they reappear. Here is the link to the screenshot: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/Ahriman13/ScreenShot0.jpg
My other problem is that all of the ground shows up as Large "Boxes" instead of the freeform shapes they are supposed to be. I only get "Boxes" connected with each other. This annoys me.

How to fix these problems?

lpshwitz- Thanks.... Haven't done DIsk heck in a while... but the SFC thing isn'tworking. I just get something that looks like a cmd application, but it dissapears about half a second later. Anyways, i'll disk check now, see you soon.

---I managed to free up my RAM so that there is 1 GIG of it free. No luck. Oblivion's landscape is still.... f-ed up.

This could be a problem relating to not enough memory to render the 3D environment properly.
A graphics card with more memory is always a possibility or just adding more memory to the computer itself.
Some suggestions are to make sure nothing else is running while laying this game, try disabling sound, run scandisk and defrag, use the Disk Cleanup option to clean up space, also run the SFC (start->run->sfc->ok). See if this helps any

Try using an older / newer driver. Often the newest drivers aren't always the best. They may solve graphical problems for the newer video cards but create problems on older model video cards. Just my experience.

mine got jacked up somehow and had to go to a previous save - problem somehow had to do with my saved game - try one of your previous saves and see if problem goes away
