The location of the invisible barrier was not the magically sealed door but rather the normally open passageway with no actual door where one enters the room where King Olaf and his minions are found. Since I posted my question I reloaded a save made just before entering that room and again observed/fought the battle. When the king and draugrs were dead and the bard had played his lute the invisible barrier was not present. The first time I played that section I had stayed in the passageway just outside the chamber in sneak mode and sniped the king and draugrs with my bow, eventually luring the king into the room with the combination lock door and killing him there. That apparently didn't allow the quest to advance normally. Even so, I still don't see any good reason for the passageway to be blocked by the invisible barrier.

Before I entered the room where King Olaf is found in Tending the Flames, I left my companion in the room with the combination door. After the king and all the draugr were dead I tried to return to my companion and found I was blocked by an invisible barrier where the entrance tunnel opens into the large room where the battle took place. I was able to pass through only by using TCL in the console, but my companion still was trapped behind the barrier. Is there a way to disable the barrier to retrieve my companion and the loot I left with her? Is that barrier a bug or a "feature"?

Since I posted my question I found another way to start the boost before launching Skyrim. The General tab of the GB settings menu (tool icon under the window-closing X) has a option, "Switch to game mode when steam game is launched." If you uncheck that option, which seems to act as a toggle, GB will stay in boost mode when Skyrim is launched.

I start Game Booster and switch it to boost mode. When I then start Skyrim and click Play from the main menu I get a Game Booster notification: "Game Booster is switching to normal mode." To get GB to stay in boost mode I have to CTRL-TAB out of Skyrim to again click Boost in the GB window. Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to keep GB in boost mode while starting Skyrim?

The New Vegas files pages would be easier to navigate if the page number links were both above and below the file list, as they are on the TESNexus files pages.

As far as I can see the new style of listing of the new-today files on TESNexus shows no symbol to indicate whether the file is for Oblivion or Morrowind. There should be some indication in the basic list of which game can use the mod, as the brief description can be ambiguous.

During the quest "We Will All Go Together", I killed and looted all the ghouls in town and got the tag from the non-feral ghoul. When I reported back to Astor I still didn't have all the tags. The only 2 remaining quest markers point to Astor and to an empty alley in Searchlight. Even searching above and below the alley using TCL I found no ghoul or tag. I found similar reports on a Bethesda forum. Has anyone found a solution to the missing final tag and the marker that points to nothing?

One of the mods I use includes Lucas Simms in one of its quests. Since Lucas was killed early in my game, as he probably is in most games, I tried using the console with his ref. ID to resurrect him. I used the kill > resurrect > disable > enable sequence of commands after the prid command. Lucas was resurrected, but either as soon as I exited the console or shortly thereafter, the game would CTD or freeze the computer. I also tried entering the disable/enable before the kill/resurrect. The immediate CTD or freeze generally would occur if I followed the resurrection with a moveto player command while my avatar was in front of or inside Lucas' Megaton house. If I skipped the moveto player, a CTD would occur in a few minutes regardless of where my avatar went. My game otherwise is stable with infrequent CTD's. Is there any way to accomplish the resurrection without the crashes?
