coe5coe5coe Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (I apologize in advance if this is not the correct place to post this, as well as any grammar/spelling mistakes.) I was wondering if any of you have heard of or experienced any skyrim mods causing other games to not work. I have games that worked just fine in the past, now they do not work and I can't figure out how to get them working again. The simple answer would be to delete my mods and see if the games work then, but I'd like to find a different solution before resorting to removing my mods first, because maybe it's not the mods themselves causing the problem. The games no longer working are:All three Mass Effect gamesSporeDead SpaceAll three Five Nights at Freddy's gamesWhat happens when I try to play them is that I'll start the game up, and my screen will turn black as if the game is booting up, but then I'm brought back to my desktop. The game is still running, but it's minimized on my task bar. When I try to expand it I get only a black screen and then suddenly I'm pushed back to my desk top again. I'd appreciate any help from the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Skyrim mods will have nothing to do with your other games. I suspect it's a background process giving you fits. See what's running in your system tray. Thinks like ASUS Smart Doctor, and Some OSD (on-screen display) software tends to mess with games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coe5coe5coe Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 It may be a silly question, but where do i locate the system tray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 It's where al the pretty little icons sit there next to the clock. :) If you mouse over the icons, they should tell you what they are. Might be an arrow to show more as well. Be sure and check those. Thinks like Desktop composition (compositing?), and the windows sidebar can cause issues as well. have you made any changes to your system since the last time the games worked?

coe5coe5coe Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Problem found. It was Adobe Creative Cloud, I have a subscription to Photoshop. I never would have suspected Creative Cloud. Thank you for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
