Can't open Nexus Mod Manager

[eagleXwing]

Hey guys, so basically I was having a lot of issues with Nexus Mod Manager so I reinstalled and now I'm not able to open it. Well, I can open it when I run as administrator but still, when I get mods from the website they don't go directly to the Manager like it used to. I really would like my Fallout and Elder Scrolls mods again. The workshop just isn't enough. Please help. Thanks.

Did you install it as an administrator? Does your normal user account have administrator priveleges? Sounds like this is just a privelege escalation issue based on what you've posted. As far as mods "not going to the manager" - as long as they're downloading somewhere, you can point NMM at them with no problem, but if NMM expects priveleges that your user account and web browser don't have in order to operate, it would very likely explain "Download with Manager" not working properly.

How you can fix your issue:

 

Most of the time when NMM crashes it's because of an antivirus software or firewall or security UAC's. If you're using trend micro follow this guide: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1007729-how-to-fix-nexus-mod-manager-with-trend-micro/

I just turn off any security software and preform weekly scans while making it ignore the NMM folders.

I think you also posted this on the incorrect thread, it should be posted on: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/439-open-beta-feedback/

 

Hope I helped.

 

PS. If you give me the tracelog I can help you out a little, Tracelog is not the error, the tracelog file is where NMM logs what it was doing before crashing.

Please, open the tracelog file reported in the crash popup window (usually found in your Documents/NexusModManager folder),
compare the last part of the file with the common issues shown below, if you can't find your case, then, and only then,
post in the Bug reports forum and attach your tracelog file to your report.
