It still freezes on new game. I do have vista but I have never encountered problems with oblivion or any other game before. I also had it installed in my c:\program files with no problems
Well, you are the first to say so, why I assume you did something to deal with the infamous UAC. If not, it just delayed causing troubles.
But since I'm assuming you did the way I suggested before and I'm no expert in Vista, better wait someone with "experience" with it's annoyances coming to help.
