Oblivion is a very graphics demanding gaming. In fact, your video is not even supported because it is very old. Oblivion requires a video card that is capable of handling DirectX 9c.

The Radeon 9200 and lower series are Directx 8.1 video cards. You will need to buy a newer video card.

The game is also CPU intensive, so depending on what you have, you may need to up grade.

You should read the minimum requirements:

Read the following review from Anandtech (April 26th, 2006) which benchmarks some video cards.

The following review from Anandtech focuses on the CPU:

If you do not want to buy a new video card then try "OLDBIVION" which will allow you to play the game with an older card, but at tremendously reduce graphics quality:

No. It's not an obnoxious post. It is information.

You're just an obnoxious dumbass.
