The problem I'm having is that when ever I turn on any cm companion esp file and run oblivion, the program runs for a bit, then it is forced to shutdown. There are no error messages displayed when the crash occurs. Oblivion just crashes before I get to the main menu. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think I might be missing a file or something that allows the game to play with the companion add-on, and I do have the requirements met for the add-on, meaning I have the latest patches for oblivion and OBSE. Please help me with this.

Cm companions requires 3 files to work. The esp - the mod itself. The esm, a mod master file with some data in it. and at least one cm partner esp file. all of these are in the download.
