Skyrim won't launch after installing Mod Manager

I recently puchased Skyrim and decided to download the ENBSeries graphics enhancement mod. I downloaded the Nexus Mod Manager to help, because I honestly have no idea which files/folders I need to interact with to install a mod manually. However, after using the mod manager to instal the ENBSeries mod, Skyrim won't launch. The Steam window pops up saying "Steam is preparing to launch The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" but nothing else happens. The game menu does not pop up afterwards.

 

So then I decided to delete the mod, and try and run my game normally again. No dice. The game still won't launch. Then I uninstalled the mod manager, and the game still won't launch. Can anyone help?

Check for files in your Skyrim folder that don't belong there. It could be a .dll file, a text file, or a folder. They would be located in your Steam directory -> steamapps -> common -> skyrim -> Skyrim

 

Do this: manually download the ENBSeries file you tried, scour the readme, and be sure that none of those files are still in your Skyrim directory.

 

I HATE to recommend reinstalling a game (because that usually isn't the fix), but it may be something you want to try if the above doesn't help.

If you are running MSI AFTER BURNER then turn that off completely, it's worked for me, hope this helps.
