After about 30 min of playing the game it just minimizes down to the desktop, when you open it back up from the task bar, the game itself is locked up.  This just started to happen here about 3 days ago. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it with no success, I have ran adaware and spybot to see if that may be it.  I dont know.  My nephew plays and he showed me last night when I got home this problem.  Someone wanna help us out please!  Thanks.

Is your game an actual copy or pirated?

I gave up on Oblivion partly because of issues like these. That shit wins the award for buggiest game ever. I found it is most stable if you create a new game to get the engine loaded, then load your saved games. It takes longer but it crashes way less - I figured this out when it randomly decided to crash whenever I loaded any saved games for awhile. Oblivion is as buggy as Windows ME!

Had the same problem.  Make sure you use the update patches because they did help it some for me.

Also, in the task manager, set the priority of oblivion.exe to high.
