Maybe it's a codec problem..

To take your post from the thread where you outline your specs...
It looks like your processor isn't up to shape there, it should probably be at 3 GHz.
Your graphics card is fine, as is your RAM. I am assuming you have the latest drivers for your graphics card?

The Processor is fine. An Athlon64 @ 2.4 > Pentuim 4 at 3.0...
Still, your PC shouldn't be having those problems... Has it always done this?

Ah, i'm not familiar with AMD to be honest. If it wasn't for the fact it was a new computer i'd suggest a virus scan.
Aside from that, the only thing that comes to mind is drivers.

umm yeah, when I loaded it onto the old PC the problem was exactly the opposite, it played the videos fine it was the ingame stuff that it couldn't play, I think it must be the drivers, I think I need to upgrade them but the file is about 60 MB which would take about five days to download on my dialup, so I'll have to do withiout the cool vids until I get my faster college connection speed

I was gonna say....it should run fine. The cutscenes ran like a dream on my Geforce FX 5200 but everything else sucks XD

First off, are these cutscenes pre-rendered bink videos? Second, do you have RAD Video Tools installed on your PC?
Goto Start->Search->Files or Folders, do a filename search on your C: drive for "binkw32.dll" without the quotes.
1. How many binkw32.dll files do you see in the results? 2. What are the root directories of the files? 3. Is there a binkw32.dll in your c:\windows\system\ or c:\windows\system32\ directory?

Right click each dll file and left click their properties option.
Do two things;
1. take note of their version number (eg: 1.6a) 2. report them back here

Do you have an older game that uses bink video such as Red Alert 2? You could replace the binkw32.dll in Oblivion with an older (faster & more stable) version. I recommend you obtain version 1.0q. It runs the best without chugging along like the newer versions.

None of the other games I have besides KOTOR 1 have a bink32 file that I could find anyway and KOTOR1's is the same as KOTOR2 would I be able to download a new bink file from somewhere? If I had RAD video tools installed where would I find it?

Give me a minute and I'll post a link to an early binkw32 version.

thanks, I'll try this one, I already downloaded one from dll-downloads.com but it didn't work, I got an error on startup with it....it also had 2 different version numbers in properties, the information said 1.0q but the tab said 3.0.0

yes, thats it LASER VISION!!!!! *ZAP* *CRACKLE* *BURN* Are you Sure you don't have RAD Video Tools installed? Cuz I've had extreme slowdowns in bink rendering with the RAD Video Tools global bink codec installed. Perhaps you need to reset ALL of your codecs. Try out the Nightmare2013's CODEC Reset Utility v3.0.
