skyrim minimizing to desktop

[dnahacker13]

can anyone help me my skyrim keeps crashing to desktop since ive updated to windows 8.1, so far ive tried getting a new skyrim.ini file but to no luck, i tried adjusting the sound, and most recently restoring my pc back to windows 8 and now it says im mising skyrim.esm i legally bought the game off steam in january. and every time ive tried verifiying the integrity of my game cache it says 1 or so files are missing and it will be re-aquired but they never are and the problem still persists ive been trying to fix this for the past 2 weeks. anybody have any solutions

also ive tried running the games with all mods removed and all saves deleted incase it was due to those being curropted


also im pretty sure its not my pcs specs
my processor AMD A10-4600m APU with Radeon HD graphics 2.30 ghz

installed memory (RAM) 6.00 (5.46 GB usuable)
system type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Where did you install your skyrim? It's generally advised not to install moddable games to their default locations (Program Files) on any machine with a Vista OS or later.

 

If your game installed to Program Files or Program Files (86x) you'll need to move your Skyrim (and probably your entire steam install to be safe) to a different location. Most people choose to create a Games folder instead and install there.
