Why can't I open the console in Oblivion?

I used to play Oblivion on my old HP Laptop and the console commands worked fine, but since I brought my new computer, suddenly the console doesn't open when I press the tilde key. (Next to the 1 key.) I have an MSI AE 2020 touchscreen computer with NVIDIA ION. My keyboard is a MSI StarTypeES500.

Make sure you have set bAllowConsole to 1 in your oblivion.ini file.

It's likely you had this set on your old PC and not on the new one.

There is a known issue with Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver - If the other methods don't work, then uninstall this:

  • Go to your Control Panel,
  • Click System and Security, -> System,
  • Go to Manage Devices, and find & click on Human Interface Devices
  • Once in there find a file called "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" and uninstall it (My info came from here: )
