Getquestrunning still returns 0 after that. Started a new character just to check and I could start the quest fine on that one.

Getquestrunning returns 0 even after resetting the quest as you detailed. I guess that means my save is corrupted and there's no fix? Oh well. I guess I'll tolerate the crashes, hopefully they don't get worse. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi My game is crashing, seemingly at random. Looking through the papyrus logs I've found that it seems to be due to a College of Winterhold quest that is trying to call a script over and over again, even though I finished that quest like 30 hours of play time ago. My papyrus log is basically that, thousands of times. I've done some research and found a few people with the same problem on Google -- no solutions. From what I've gathered, MG07 is the seventh quest in the College questline, The Staff of Magnus. VisionTriggerScript is a script that is supposed to initiate the visions of the ghost mages that you see inside Labrynthian while on the quest to get the staff. However, I completed this quest a looooong time ago. I've probably been crashing for all that time, I don't really remember. The thing is, sometimes the crashes are a few hours apart, so I thought I'd just put up with it for a while, it didn't seem urgent. Now I obviously wish I'd done something about it then, since I don't really have the option of going back to a previous save at this point. I found a couple of threads on these forums where a guy had posted fixes for what seems like the same bug with different scripts (http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/737061-dunbluepalacearenascript-errors-fixed/ and http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/732051-fxdustdroprandomscript-errors-fixed/), does anyone know of a tutorial or something that could lead me down the path of fixing my issue in the same way? Anything that will work is fine, no matter how rough -- I'll disable the entire college questline if it will help. I've started Skyrim over again too many times and I have really been enjoying this character, so I don't care at all about not being able to do that quest on other characters later if I have to break it to fix this or whatever.
