oblivion question

How can i run oblivion in a window?

im running 2 screen and if i try and ALT+TAB out it crashes oblivion, which it randomly goes to a black screen and crashes they system anyway.

I was expecting something very pretty but tbh, its difficult to get into and looks pap even on max settings

Really not enjoying it and ive only just started it.

Ob certainly does not respond to Alt-tab (try reading the Read-Me!), and I'm fairly certain you can't run it in a window either.

Moral? Don't play games like Ob at work...

Before alt-tabbing press esc and go into menu. Doesn't seem to crash as often, rather when switching during 3D mode.

You need texture replacers etc. My oblivion game is modded to hell and it looks amazing.

There's a box to select full screen/windowed mode in the graphics setup thing. Not the in-game options, but you click options in the launcher.
