The first thing to do is to determine whether or not the saved game is corrupt. To do this, simply load the save file in question in normal fashion, as if you were about to play Oblivion and start at that save location. If the save file is corrupt a message will appear on screen, stating “This save game is corrupt”.
What to do if Oblivion won’t save at all?
