OK my question is this. Can i play my character and my brother plays his on the same comp? His comp cant run the game and he really wants to play it. I tryed installing oblivion on both my harddrives but it loads the same one even tho the path is correct. I also tryed going to new game and doing it all but the saves are all in one place. I really like when developers make it so you can create users. Any reason why they didnt do that with oblivion or am i missing something? Any help on running with 2 people would be greatly appreciated.

Ermm...Why don't you just use separate saves on one installation?

The risk of overwriting someone elses save plus its kind of annoying.

Also i found out why it loaded the same game. It doesnt it loads the same save files thats all. If i can change this path it would be perfect.

Run path: Game #1 C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion
Run path: Game #2 E:\Games\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion

Problem is both have the same save path:

C:\Documents and Settings\Asuka\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves
 
Have you gone to the registry? See if the directory paths to Oblivion are in the Current_User section. If they are, you should be able alter the paths to which Oblivion installation you want to use for his account alone, and keep yours the same.

Good luck. :cheers:
