kitcat81 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This thread is my last hope Nifskope was working just a couple of months ago. Then I took a break from messing with the game and now it won`t launch. Have tried 3 different versions. All the same. I see the loading circle for a few seconds and nothing happens and it does not appear in the process list. Tried to google this problem and it seems some people have encoutered it in the same circumstamce, but have not found any solution. :sad:Someone mentioned registry keys..But I`m afraid to delete registry keys without being sure it won`t break something else. Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnorKater Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Which versions did you try? Was there a windows update since the last time it worked?There is only one relevant registry entry NifSkope creates. Just open regedit, press F3, and search for "niftools". There should only be one entry that looks like the screenshot here. You can just delete it, if you really want to try it out. Shouldn't cause any issues. In fact, I just deleted it myself, and NifSkope just created it again the next time I started it (with the default config, of course). If you want to be on the safe side, right click on it and then on export. If something goes wrong, just run the exported file to add it again. If that doesn't work, you could create a new user account under windows and see if it's running there, and maybe troubleshoot from that point forward.PS: It would be awesome if you'd tell us if it helped you, in case other people run into the same issue. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitcat81 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thank you very much Funs, I`ll try deleting the keys at first. Fingers crossed! And yes, I've got at least 2 windows updates. Just recently there was a really big one . I tried to launch different versions of Nifskope, the latest one, 2.0 and some prior versions. Tried to reboot my PC a few times... Makes no difference, they all won`t launch. They all worked before without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnorKater Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Alright. Which OS are you using? Win10? Let's hope the updates aren't to blame. If it still doesn't work, that's where I'd look next. In that case have a look into the update history and post the KB numbers of the last updates here. Maybe we can find something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitcat81 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yay! it works now ! :dance: I`ve found Nifskope 2.0 and Nifskope 1.2 folders under HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Niftools > Nifskope . Deleted both and it fixed the problem. Thank you again Funs, kudos to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oofium Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Hi, I am running into the exact same problem. I've deleted the Nifskope 2.0 and 1.2, then I've run the Nifskope again but it still does the same thing, and Nifskope 2.0 and 1.2 comes back in regedit. So my question is... after deleting Nifskope 2.0 and 1.2, do I restart the computer than open the program or do I just open the program or do I run it as administrator? Btw. I've download version 2.0.Version 1.1.3 works but I have no clue how to use that version. Edited October 24, 2018 by dlrnrgus66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
