Skyrim not launching

[tantojutsu]

Hi

 

I reinstalled Skyrim so that it could revert it to vanilla and rebuild my mod collection from there.

 

This has caused a number of issues, namely:

 

• Skyrim cannot detect my Nvidia graphics card and reverts to my chipset (I've tried to make sure that it is opened by my proper gpu in the Nvidia control panel and that had no effect)
• The launcher crashes every time that I try to restore the graphics settings to default
• I cannot optimise the game in GeForce Experience
• Whenever I click play in the launcher the launcher closes and then nothing further happens

 

I have an MSI GE-60 laptop with:

 

• i5 3230m 2,6GHz
• 4GB RAM
• Nvidia gtx660m with 2GB VRAM
• I have 70GB available on my steam hard drive

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Update:

 

I poked around in my game folder and found a couple of files for an old mod still lurking about so I deleted them and that has allowed me to launch the game again but the other problems are still present

Update:

 

The launcher still crashes but I have installed the SKSE one so it's okay and the game itself is working fine

Update:

 

I tried to verify the game files with steam and it said that it was unable to verify one of them
