Any created items are gone at log-in...

I am running unpatched version with Shivering Isles add on.
Game was running fine, but then any items I created in-game, from Alchemy spells to enchanted weapons/armor at the enchanting Chromosium, they all just disappear aat my next log-in.
Can anyone advise me on how to solve this problem please ?
I aint too computer savvy.
A complete uninstall does not solve this problem.

There is a patch after Shivering Isles, you should probably get it. If the game is from Direct 2 Drive you need the patch from their page. If it is retail, go to Bethesda Softworks and select Support.

err, Lemmus, sorry to persist, but I went to Bethesda, the link in your post.
I went to support, downloads, but found nothing.
This:
"Downloads
OBLIVION : WINDOWS 7
No downloads found for the current game and platform selection. "

I did a search for patch, but found nothing.
Could you please elaborate on where I can find this Oblivion/Shivering patch you talk of ?

Thanks Lemmus & Galraen, I tried installing the English/Australian Oblivion v1.2 patch, but I got a patch warning:
"old file not found, however, a file of the same name was found, no update done since file contents do not match."
So the patch wasnt installed.
I tried the North American Oblivion v1.2 patch & got the same result.
Should I try the Shivering Isles v1.2 patch, or what ?
It says if I do that, I will need to uninstall game, again...is this what I should download and install ?

Accidental double post.

No surprise that the Oblivion patch won't work over shivering Isles as SI replaces the .exe. I don't understand why applying the SI patch would require you to uninstall the game though.

However if the only way to get the game to run properly is to re-install then apply the patch, what choice do you have? Make sure you have your saves backed up first though, but be aware they may be corrupted.

Maybe ask again in the tech support forum first though in case someone can come up with a more acceptable answer.

Wonderful!
The problem is now fixed.
I installed the SI patch easily, & no game uninstall was required.
Thankyou for your help.
