Small Window (Not Responding) When Game Loads

[CartoonLooney]

Hello I've spent the past 5 days trying to sort through this issue. When I load Skyrim through steam, then press play on the launcher, the game enters full screen. For a brief couple of seconds I get a small window in the upper left hand corner that says, "Skyrim Not Responding." I've read Icarapaica's guide to solve it, however it does not work with Nexus Mod Manager.

 

I loaded my task manager, and when I ran Skyrim (not through SKSE not sure if that matters still don't fully know what that is after watching videos) I saw that there were two Skryim (32 bit) running. However I could not find the other. This was after I downloaded more mods for my high immersion play through. So I started a new game made my character with Live Another Life, and then once I went to sleep in the bed the game would take forever to load, and then be really laggy, or crash. Sometimes I would have the game crash right after the Bethesda logo too. From this I figured it was a mod installation issue, or compatibility issue, or load order (even though I used LOOT).

 

Since I thought it was a mod installation issue so I deleted/uninstalled all mods NMM, and the Skyrim folder. Then I deleted/NMM along with uninstalling/deleting Skyrim and Skyrim Script Extender from steam. I then shut down my desktop and waited a couple minutes to reboot (don't know if that would actually help just switched from mac to pc). I reinstalled Skyrim, ran it, reinstalled SKSE, ran it, then reinstalled NMM, then ran it. Every time I ran Skyrim, I still got that window.

So update:

 

I deleted/uninstalled NMM again thinking it's just a program issue. I then went download Mod Organizer, and when I go to open the file nothing happens. I'm just starting to get really confused as to what is going on now.

There are a number of guides out there on how to make Skyrim vanilla again. I would advise you to do a google search for that topic and use one of those guides to make a vanilla game and go from there.

 

Uninstalling Skyrim by deleting local files and deleting the Skyrim folder in Steam/steamapps/common still leaves many Skyrim files on your computer. You did not mention if you deleted the Skyrim folder in My Documents/My Games where Skyrim has its ini files and saves. You also might think about moving Steam from your program files to another destination, ie C:/Steam as windows UAC can be a bit fussy about changes made to program files.

 

After getting a vanilla game I would spend a few hours learning the basics of the mod tools you will need to have a stable modded game. Among them LOOT, Wrye Bash, TES5Edit, and the mod organizer of your choice, either NMM or MO. There are a number of quite good guides out there on a basic use of those tools to help in modding your game. I would look up a guide to install SKSE as if you want to use a number of mods SKSE is, in my opinion, essential.
