Phil: That was indeed a compelling essay, but what I was wondering was how Oblivion might enact system weirdness at times when no Oblivion-related processes are running (or at least, shouldn't be).
Pooly: Aw, man. . .I honestly thought I had come up with something original.

Huckle: Just out of curiosity's sake, try this out. Uninstall Oblivion and your mods. Then, restart your computer and run HijackThis and save the log file. Then install Oblivion and the mods, and then run one or two of them. Exit OUT of Oblivion and restart your computer. Then run HijackThis again and save THAT log. Compare the two. Do you have any extra "stuff" running after installing and playing Oblivion than you do before it? If you don't want to use and install HijackThis, then you can do a similar trick with paper and pencil and using Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Active Processes in Task Manager, before and after an Oblivion installation and run. Now, if that doesn't bring anything to light... I'm not quite sure what to tell you... |

As a second experiment, you can get a "clean" HJ log file, and then grab another log file WITHOUT restarting after playing the game.
I'd be curious to see the results, you could even copy and paste them here if you wish, since they're just text files.
It's SCIENCE! ;D
