My problem is that I needed the patch for certain mods to work on my Oblivion system, and the patch would help the game run better in the first place. I went directly to the Elder Scrolls website and downloaded the patch, let it install and run, etc, etc. Once it was done, I tried to launch Oblivion, but it didn't work. I ignored this, thinking I needed to restart my computer first. I click the reboot and let it restart, and then I try again with the same results. I even installed the patch AGAIN to see if that worked. Can anybody give me any incentive to what else I can do to make it run?

It will launch, but it closes down immediately after it reaches the Bethesda screen. So fast that the letters don't even appear.

first disable any mods and see if vanilla oblivion starts. if not update your drivers. then see if vanilla oblivion starts. if it does good, now enable your mods, if it fails now, its probably a conflict with your mods, or an out of date mode. check the developers websites and download the updated versions. also use the oblivion mod manager to check for mod conflicts.
if all else fails try reinstalling, or revert to a previous patch
