Your ini file needs a line added. http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/458529-i-cannot-click-data-files-menu/ you can also use Nexus Mod Manager. (NMM) and there is a toggle in it to flip this for you automatically.However the manual edit is to be found in that thread I linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uzibeatle, sorry for not answering before, I moved and was without internet for a while. Many thanks for the information, now I can reinstall my mods again. I will add the suggested line in the Skyrim.ini (short). Usually I like to install mods manually because I now what has been added from the mod. I unzip the mod and get all the info from the different folders, that way I can undo the mod if I don't like it. I used NMM to install Better Bodies for Morrowind and got a message that snow something was missing. When I compared the Morrowind.ini against a backup I made, I notice that NMM deleted the whole [Archive] section from it. Again, many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
