Help with making own armor - blender wont work

[naru1305]

Hey there Nexus community,

I just started modding Skyrim, although I´ve modded many other games in the past like the Total War series, Star Wars Battlefront 2 and many others, so I´m not new to modding and especially modelling in general.

I want to start creating my own armor model yesterday, following this Tutorial. No problem until it comes to Blender.

Since Niftools only work with Blender 2.49b and I used this version on my old computer, where it works fine, until I get a new one 8 weeks ago. I never used Blender on my new machine and yesterday I downloaded blender 2.49b.

I install it and try to open Blender. Here is the problem: blender opens, but there is only a grey window with the loadscreen in the middle, no buttons, grid etc, like in this PICTURE.

When I slide with my mouse over the grey window, for example where a button should be, this button appears, with this i can get the whole menu, so it looks like THIS.

I don´t know if this is the right forum for my problem, but i hope you can help me.

Sorry for my bad English and thx in advance
