Skyrim Won't Start

[MercyKilling]

So, last week the game launched just fine with all my mods. Today, it won't get past the start screen. And if the game needs to detect video settings, it crashes from that.

 

I have completely deleted the game from my hard drive and reinstalled through Steam.

I have disabled and removed -all- mods.

I have updated graphics drivers.

I have updated DirectX.

I have updated Microsoft Framework.

I have verified game files through Steam not once, but several times. Most times, there's a 0mb download history when I do that. Twice, there's been a 50 mb download history, but nothing new that I can see.

I have disabled Bethesda's high texture pack and even deleted the files.

 

Nothing works. I launch game from Steam or directly with Skyrim.ini and the launcher appears, I click start game, brief flash of game trying to start but not even logo screen, then CTD.

Try removeing administrator from skyrim launcher and TESV.exe in compatibility settings and delete them....Verifye integrity and launch game.

 

That worked for me.

 

For some reson the game wont launch with administrator ticked in the compatibility settings.

Odd. I once more deleted all instances of Skyrim from my computer, then reinstalled through Steam and bam. It starts. I have -no- idea what was wrong, or what got fixed.
