dePog Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Out of the blue yesterday I started getting the error message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000001d)" I have played Skyrim for years without any issues, until yesterday. Since then I have completely uninstalled all mods, uninstalled Skyrim and then restored it from Backup. Still get the same error. Anybody know what has happened? (and how to fix it) Cheers,dePog PS. Running on Windows 10 Edited May 26, 2017 by dePog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymf331 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) actually reinstalling (not just restoring) skyrim doesn't work neither? do all your other programs start correctly? have you updated windows or visual studio or .net or anything else you can think of since the last time you played skyrim?

dePog Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) I just uninstalled all ENB related files and Skyrim will now load. If I install any ENB the error message returns. I even tried reverting back to previous versions of ENB. This is madness because I have used ENB for years. Windows just seems to update itself whenever it feels the urge, but I haven't done any updates intentionally. Edited May 26, 2017 by dePog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymf331 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) i kept thinking i had something helpful but then i thought maybe not haha. lots of people have enb problems with windows 10 so that might be easier to solve. some people have to go install the old directx9, but for me it seems like my problems with it went away when i moved steam out of program files. edit: some people said that deleting d3d9x.dll from the skyrim directory fixes it too. looking at my files it looks like i don't have it either.

dePog Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yes removing the d3d9.dll allows Skyrim to run, but you can have ENB without it. I don't understand why Windows all of a sudden got upset with this file. I have used ENB for about 4 years with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymf331 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 i know i had it working the last time i played, but it required some fiddling. i never had any windows errors pop up over it, though. i think my solution was some combination of installing the 2010 directx 9 and reinstalling steam outside program files. for some reason win10 does some weird stuff with permissions if it's in program files.
