game should install from the disk, but you will have to download dlc (dawnguard etc) and patches again edit nvm read that wrong. you can make a backup of your games. but since you want a complete clean install, and probably did not back your game up right after installing the first time you will have to download it again.

ye did that multiple times already. game is up to date no mods installed currently. gonna try installing skse again later today maybe it fixes it. edit: same thing, using the skse loader after properly installing skse. game starts in a small window in the top left corner and closes after the bethesda logo without any error message. (the little steam community ingame thing pops up normally) when continue new game etc should appear it closes

thought i would bump this again. maybe someone with the same issue found a way to fix it. if i could just reformat the entire pc i would have already done this but unfortunately at the moment is is no option. pretty sad when a moderator suspects someone to be a pirate when it is clearly stated that i used the original disk i bought on the 11.11.2011

so a few days ago i decided to try out skse. game worked perfectly fine with zero issues. after putting the skse files into the folder it stopped working. -the game opens in a small window at the top left corner and crashes when it gets to the main menu. -starting skyrim normally via steam same thing crashes after the bethesda logo in a small sreen -used a backup of my skyrim folder same thing -apparently skse should make a logfile in the my games skyrim but that never happend either i downloaded skse from here: http://skse.silverlock.org/ the link given in all the mods using skse now here is the thing that is the reason why i made this topic COMPLETE REINSTALL: uninstalled the game using the original disk, deleted the skyrim folder, deleted the skyrim folder in my games. so skyrim was completely removed from my pc. installed it again with the disk let it patch. now its patched but STILL it opens in small window in the top left corner and crashes when it gets to the main menu... i really am out of ideas... i just want to have skyrim working again ;(
