AggressiveDuckling Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I recently installed skyrim and tried to launch it. What happens is when I click play on steam, it does the typical "Preparing Skyrim to launch" thing and then it brings up the launcher. After that, I then press play and windows 7 asks to give skyrim permission to make changes and I click yes. Then it loads the "Preparing to launch skyrim" thing from steam and then brings up the launcher again with no game running. I have included a video of the process which this goes through on youtube. NOTE: In the video, when I press it brings up the windows thing where it asks to give permission to the files but you can see it in the video. Just know that that is there and it asks it every time I click play from the launcher. Below is a list of everything I have tried to fix this problem. Any and all help is appreciated! Things I have done:Clean Reinstalled SkyrimRestarted SteamRestarted my computerverified integrity of Skyrim CacheUnsubscribed to Workshop modsUninstalled Nexux mod manager and all mods w/ it Link to the video showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye8RAfTFVF8&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggressiveDuckling Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Nevermind this post guys, I managed to fix it. I needed to run the launcher as administrator. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswagg92 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 as am I, after running as admin. im on windows 8. and as soon as I tried some mods (only like 2) it's started doing this regardless of if I remove the mods, DLCs, reinstall the game, verify integrity, etc. damn Bethesda.

HollyBurling Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 yeah. I've had this problem before. I managed to fix it but now I can't remember how to fix it. I've tried to run it FROM steam, which is what I think I did last time, but this time it didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
