How many programs are you running in the background?

Do you use any over zealous Anti Virus programs such as full versions of Norton or McAfee?

Do you have anything downloading in the background?

I dont have internet on my gamming pc, no internet security and the only things running in the background are windows stuff and zune

Go to games tab and go to tools where you get the creation kit from. Right click and open the properties and then verify the content. That should fix any problems, or at least it did for me.

Most likely a corrupted file, do a fresh install. If that still doesn't work.

Download the DLL File here and replace the current one.

Back up your current one just in case.

Thanks a lot that worked for me

Same problem, none of these solutions work for me =/. I guess I shall try reinstalling.

Re-Install does not work. Verifying Cache does not work. Deleting dll's does not work... This problem needs to be addressed by Bethesda!

I'm getting something similar. Creation Kit starts up, says "Initializing Facegen" and freezes.

I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and using the DLL that was posted. It still freezes. Any ideas?

i had the SAME exact problem! i am pretty sure i fixed it though! its either one of two of this things, i'm not sure which one got it running. i will apologize in advance for my lack in detail, i was only winging it while trying to fix this, so i was not realling keeping track of everything i did.

1. right click creation kit.exe select troubleshoot compatibility, tinker with that until you get to a window that tells you the creation kit is incapable. there should be a fix option, or it automatically fixes it, once again sorry

2. here's somethings else i did while trying to fix this. open creation\properties\compatibility check off "run this program in compatibility mode for:" i selected windows 95 then tried opening the creation kit, but, nothing even popped up. so i changed the compatibility back to run for windows 7, and it opened right up. no more unknown reasons for it not working and crashing anymore!!!!

that is the exact order i did it in, so if any of you try this and it works let me know which one did the trick

goodluck!!!

I experienced this same problem a while ago. Sudden crashes at initializing windows, and no amount of verifying the integrity of the game cache could fix it. Re-installing couldn't fix it. The fix came from a rather unexpected angle - the firewall from my antivirus (a silly Dutch brand). I disabled the firewall, and voila! The creation kit started up like it normally should. It also allowed me to open two simultaneous screens in NifSkope as well.
So try to disable your antivirus' firewall (temporarily, of course), or add an exception for the creation kit (although that didn't work for me, I had to install a new one).

I don't know how or why my firewall did this, and I don't care to know either. All I can say is that it fixed it for me.
