Does anyone know how to run Oblivion on Vista without it crashing?

Question

Every time I run Oblivion while playing the game it will suddenly crash. My computer meets the graphic req and processor, actaully it meets beyond the req. Only thing I can think thats doing it is Vista. But there must be a way to run because there tons of vidoes of people running it on vista with no problems.

Has anyone had the same issue or know of a way to fix it

I already tried calling Bethesda and they simply said it is not compatible

Didn't it just come out? And it's not compatible with Vista??? Dude, that's f'd up...

Well, I don't run Vista, but hopefully you can fix the compatibility issue the same way as on previous Windows OS.

Right-click on the game icon from your desktop (or from Start/Programs), and select the Properties option. From the pop-up, select the Compatibilities tab. There should be an option to run the game program in Compatibility Mode, and then selecting the correct OS for Oblivion (I'm guessing that's XP, but best to check).
