ok first, im not sure if this is the right forum or not so....... ok, i just got oblivion and when i go to play it it shuts the game down and tells me program terminated, error occured, plz help

That happened to me a couple times,too.
Try reinstalling,and if it doesnt work still try checking the options/setting.I dont remember exactly what,but there was some button on the settings i clicked that made is magically work again.
Hope this helps.
