I cannot seem to find the source of this problem, I have tried disabling all of my mods, but yet still, the crashing persists. I also am using MWGE (Morrowind Graphics Extender), MCP (Morrowind Code Patch), and MWSE (Morrowind Script Extender).

Also provided my ini
Spoiler



Edit: It seems that noticing my load order had switched postions for Bloodmoon.esm and Morrowind.esm, I quickly fixed that; however the CTD still persists when using MWSE

I've always been a bit suspicious of those three "helper" programmes, if you can get away without them so much the better. Try removing them one at a time, and see if the CTD is repeated.

To be hones, I've just finished the game and had about 30 separate mods loaded, I did NOT have MGE, MSE or MCP, and the only time those would be needed is if one or more of the mods you use depends on it.

If you still get a CTD after checking those programmes, try uninstalling then re-installing the programme - and DON'T forget to patch to the latest available patch from Bethesda. Try loading your mods now, and you should find it's OK.

However, if you're still having problems, there may be another simple solution, check your graphics card drivers are up-to date. another tip that some people don't bother with is defragging their hard drives. It's OK to say "oh I've got XGb of storage on each of my drives, I don't need to defrag". That is completely wrong, as you run a programme - any programme the files being used are broken up (or fragmented) and scattered all the way over the free surface of your drive. This slows down your computer and makes the drive work that much harder. It can get to the point where your programme can't find all of the file and then you either end up with a "blue screen" or a CTD!

I actually defrag every 3 days, keeps my system tidy, and it seems that MWSE crashes my MW, however a while ago before the reinstallation of Morrowind, my Morrowind ran fine with MWSE, I don't know what the problem is now.

Check your drive(s) for bad sectors. Just remember that if you're using the Windows CHKDSK facility, it can take a good while. Download a free trial of Auslogics Boostspeed, you can get it here, it does the job quickly and thoroughly.

Failing that, all I can suggest is back up ALL of you irreplaceable data (e-mails, word files, saves for Morrowind and/or Oblivion and any other games you have) . Next do a full install of your O/S again, but ask it to do a full format as well. I know it's a pain, but it also means that you'll have to re-install Morrowind as well, so be sure to back up all your mods and other programmes for it first.

What version of MWSE are you running? It's been very stable for quite a while. If you don't run MWSE, you can run Morrowind without problems? Have you tried running Morrowind through MWSE's Launcher?

Try removing MGE from the equation. It doesn't like some graphics cards. Try getting everything else working together before upping the ante with MGE.

I thing that Balakirev was right, I've always been suspicious of these "helper" programmes; MGE in particular. As he said, not all graphics cards work the same way, the best thing is to literally delete that MGE, and if your graphics will allow it, bring the various sliders uo to at least the middle, then you can experiment as to what they should be.

You will have to remember that though this was Bethesda's third foray into the gaming world, it was the FIRST in Windows. That is one reason the graphics are miserable, but remember you have hours of gameplay here.to make up for the bad gragics - but hey on a brighter note, look at what the system wants in the way of graphics and you'll get that data from the Tech section of TESNexus, or even from the Bethesda website,.

Just rembeer Skyrim Is out soon.
