Does it do it on fresh saves? or only on an established one? If it's only on an established one, and is crashing every time, you are probably better off loading an older one. Oblivion does have some pretty major issues with save corruption. Relying on a single save is a very bad idea.
I personally save about every 15 minutes, and cycle between 20 different save slots.

Which loading sceen? Does it happen when you TP to another place on map, when you start game (the main menu screen) or when you load a new save game?

There is two options for save game: quick saves and normal save. Does it happen for both types?

Yeah I usually stick with one save.

Each time you TP game will create an autosave, same for when you go through a door (change loading map), so you will have three types of saves if you look in your save list. Quicksave will over write each time, but before that it will create an Quicksave.bak (back up).

In game option you can control when Autosave feature wil trigger, so it is something that you might have turned off. In general you should avoid to overwrite save games as Windows will try to prevent running apps to make changes to files which is in use from that app.

When you find a save which isn't corrupt make sure that you creata a new save and then exit game (to clear memory). Restart game from that saved game and you should have clean save running.

Here is a link explaining where to find your save games:

Here is a link about possible tools for save game:

(Look down on that page to find out more tools and relevant info about save games)
______
In general Oblivion will remove items in cells after 73 hours. If you have a lot of items which is still active in a cell you have been to, but game not cleared out after that time, then it is possible that your save file have grown large then it should. TP around map at random places a lot and kill a few things just to move on to next cell (TP) without picking up loot/items like arrows etc might have left hose items on ground or in containers which is supposed to be reset after 73 hours. As you can imagine this might make a save game grow very fast as all active quests and NPC related to cells you have visisted will be stored.

Go to My Documents/MyGames/Oblivion/ folder, find and delete Oblivion.ini

I am having the same problem. I found out that the problem is that the Oblivion.esm is at the bottom of the load order in Data Files, when it should be at the top. The only problem is, I can't figure out how to re arange the files using BOSS. If someone could tell me a way to reorder the files with or without using third parties such as BOSS or OMM that would be great. Thank you!

If you are talking about Data Files from when start game as where you click "Play" to continue to menu in game, then it isn't here you tell game which master (esm) and related plug in (esp) to load in which order.

You use a mod manager to do this and BOSS to suggest which order they should load. A mod manager will also help you to organise which mods to install before another mod, if the first mod will over write some file that both mods make use of.

Install order is not the same as load order.

Archive like zip or 7zip might also have files which end with DLL. Those file is best to make sure they go into the right folder by hand (read readme and instructions from uploader on download site).

Thank you for the reply, but how do I use mod managers? I'm new to Oblivion and haven't used Nexus in a long time. Thank you for responding!
