annoying blue window around game in fullscreen mode


rotwhip

Recommended Posts

a couple of days ago i was testing a few enbs out, and after some undesirable effects (crashing on exteriors) i decided to uninstall, i removed everything to do with the enbs from my game and data folders, but after uninstalling, i started getting what was mentioned in the title.

 

it seems to be a regular window, but blue (my windows are normally a deep black) and my game is (according to the options menu) in fullscreen mode (or not in windowed mode at the very least)

 

this might have to do with the skyrimprefs.ini as i dont know how to get it back to default, but im guessing it cant be (but hey, im no expert)

 

if i can help with any other information to fix the problem, please let me know, its getting annoying and id like it fixed as soon as possible :)

UPDATE: i tried refreshing my skyrimprefs.ini in-game by typing "refreshini" in the console, but i have no idea if that did anything, because nothing changed, im assuming it did not work though, because i still have the light blue border.

What "refresh.ini" does is pull any changes you made to the ini live into the game..not create new ini files....

 

Back-up (move) or delete both INI files in the my docs/skyrim folder. Run the default game launcher (SkyrimLauncher.exe) that will create new INI files.

 

Double check you have removed all ENB files, ENB has a fake full screen mode.

how would one check if they deleted all enb files for sure?

 

or at the least, what should i look for to see if it is removed

 

the new ini didnt work, so im assuming it is enb related (or something else)

Open the ENB ZiP or what ever you used to install, compare to your skyrim directory.....Remove all files from the archive.

 

OR

 

Look in the Skyrim folder for a few ENB files ...d3d9.dll, ENBhost.exe , ENBlocal.ini and ENBseries.ini....those are the main files....:)

i have attempted using the vin. launcher before, no change

 

skyrim dosent support my screen resolution (1366x768) in windowed mode so i tend to use a very black window border with a very black desktop backround and auto hide the taskbar, this can get anoying at times, but its nowhere as anoying as this bright blue window border around my game,

 

i tried switching to windowed mode, it works, but if i can help it, i would rather play fullscreen so the game isnt smaller than the screen itself (also, see above)

 

switching back resulted in the same problem, blue border

was pulling my hair out with this issue and none of these other solutions would change a thing. I finally found the source of the problem and the fix is very simple.


Go to (Drive where steam games are saved, usually C drive) C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim, then go to SkyrimLauncher.exe/TESV.exe/skse_loader.exe (whichever you use to launch game but i just did it for all). Right click on the application --> compatibility --> and uncheck the box next to 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:'.


I know this is an old thread but people are still getting these problems and just wanted to put it out there for the ones who haven't been able to fix the issues with the other solutions
