Hmm, I did wonder about the hotfixes. When BOSS came up with errors, I did kinda get a bit antsy about the hotfixes. But just to say, it's not even gotten to the point of allowing me to open a new game or continue one. It just crashes right upon startup. The "Bethesda Softworks" slide comes on, and if I'm lucky the game doesn't crash until I hit the next slide. I hit the same problem with Oblivion a while back, where it would just crash when attempting to start it. I might just reinstall the game again and hopefully that might fix something I possibly have done.
