or you can uninstall C++. Skyrim sure as hell don't need it to run. C++ is an elected install from MS update. If you're a C++ dev you're SOL for some games.. oh and according to MS, C++ is designed to crash that way. The language to run the game is in the game but Windows might be using the later to perform game supporting function (doing) rather than what it's intended for, being a library of definitions and commands not specific to Skyrim at least.
