Blank screen in Oblivion HDR with Nvidia 9 Series

Hi.

I have a problem with Oblivion. If I enable HDR, and load/start a game, the whole screen is blank (gray/black). The HUD/Menus are still there, I can move, the Inventory shows my model correctly, but everything is blank. I can't see anything. The 3D part is completely missing.

I have read that this happens on Nvidia cards, but I already have the Nvidia Black Screen fix and it doesn't work.

Hardware : Asus EN9800 GTX with ForceWare 175.16 on Windows Vista 32 bit Ultimate

This happens on normal clock, underclock or overclock.

This blank screen does not occur with HDR turned off. But everything looks like garbage without HDR.

Any help?

I'm having the exact same problem with a 9800GX2, really annoying :S

Did you have any luck?

I just solved my problem a totally different way.

I was using screencontrols mod and it was setting all my brightness, contrast, etc. all to values of 0, I don't know why. The ScreenEffects (which I'm also using) readme even says that setting your graphical values to 0 will cause the screen to turn black/gray.

So I turned offthe screencontrols mod (I left the screeneffects mod ON). Problem solved. To check if your problem is the same as mine,look for a matrix of perception in your inventory, then use it to open a screencontrols menu, then choose reset...at which time (for me) the gray screen would reset tocorrect...that's how I knew my problem was related to graphics values = 0 /screencontrols. Just like the rest of you, I can still see my menus wheneverything else turns gray. Hope that helps someone.

I had been having this problem for a while and i had recently puchased the game when it was on sale to see if it would fix it, but it turns out i didnt, so i deleted my whole oblivon folder and also found out that there was another folder that had been causeing all of the problems in my documents i removed that and it worked. The folder was in my documents where the saves are located. i found it because i noticesed that when i reinstalled the game that i was running the same settings from before i reinstalled and not the default settings, so i had found the folder in my documents and removed it
