It is very easy just add:

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1

before your [LOD] in the SkyrimPrefs

for example :

Just add :

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1

after [imagespace] or

before [LOD] in SkyrimPrefs

 

for example:

[imagespace]

iRadialBlurLevel=0

bDoDepthOfField=1

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1

[LOD]

fLODFadeOutMultActors=2.5000

fLODFadeOutMultItems=1.0000

fLODFadeOutMultObjects=2.5000

fLODFadeOutMultSkyCell=1.0000

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!11 muhahahahahahaha i just added the last part like the guy said and it worked!!! Im on windows 7 and it worked for me =D If i knew where you lived i would hug and kiss you good sir!!!!!!!! xD

[byroniac]

I have win7, this didn't work for me, also when I try to change it to "0" it says access is denied after I click save, I'm running as admin, also, I tried running in compatibility mode for xp to see if I could get any differet result, and got none. please please help!!!!!!

 

im having the same problem. nothing seems to work

 

I was in the same boat. Nothing worked for me either. And then I found my solution. I had added the [Launcher] bEnableFileSelection=1 at the bottom of my SkyrimPrefs.ini under My Games, but then I thought to look for another [Launcher] section above that in the file and sure enough I found it. So I removed my changes, and simply added the line bEnableFileSelection=1 under the first (which should be the only) [Launcher] section in the file, then loaded Skyrim, and it was fixed! Silly me, I am usually more careful than that.

[Desharik1]

Hey yall, Thanks for the help..I must say I think what a lot of the problems everyones having is they re editing the wrong file....its the file in my games, not the download folder...

[Egolus]

You need to add that line in SkyrimPrefs.ini located in My document/MyGames/Skyrim or something. I don't use win 7 so figure it yourself, pleasa:D).

 

Look for the line:

[Launcher]

bShowAllResolutions=0

uLastAspectRatio=2

 

And add it like this:

[Launcher]

bShowAllResolutions=0

uLastAspectRatio=2

bEnableFileSelection=1

 

Good luck. :psyduck:

 

That was perfect thanks dude

[LaPhantoma]

Try setting the option to " 0 " and then loading the launcher. While the launcher is loaded, change it back to " 1 " and save the file. Then close the launcher, and then reopen it. Might work, might not. Let's hope?

thank you so much man you are a life saving now i can finally start modding :DD so happy
