Some Help Wanted!

[steinbeck]

Ihave installed several mods using NMM. So far there doesn't seem to be any active although NMM tells me they are. I have activated them! One is the 'Alternate Live' and one I just installed as I am in Riverwood is 'Riverhome' I do have SKSE and Unofficail patch installed also. Otherwise the game seems to be running well.

 

 

Any suggestions please.

If i understood correctly, you said that you use another mod that starts your character in Riverwood. That might be the cause for "Alternate Life" not to work.

[steinbeck]

No, The River Wood mod is just a home. The others hadn't shown up as operative even before I installed that one(as a Test).

Here is a link to my troubleshooting blog.

This is updated often so come back later for more.

 

If you use any of this and have some success - or even if nothing works - please post back here what you did that worked or didn't work. That kind of information can be invaluable to other members having the same or similar problems - And to me in fixing any problems in the blog.

Just being the Administrator, and being logged in as the administrator still does not allow a program to be run with administrator privileges (thanks for this bit of mass confusion Microsoft)

 

First, you must be logged in as an administrator or this won't work.

 

In the Windows file system, navigate to the game folder, (Where you installed the game you want to do this for)

right click on the game exe file.

in the drop down menu, click on 'Properties'

In the properties menu, look at the top and click on the 'Compatibility' tab.

In the Properties menu click on the 'Run this program as an administrator' box.

 

You may have to do this for NMM and other programs such as SKSE as well.

 

This works for any program that you want to run 'with Administrator Privileges ' Meaning it will be allowed to do some things that are normally blocked by the Windows paranoia program (UAC)

 

 

So if one dissed from the 'net' and switched off UAC what would that do? Although, on Win7 the game is on the C:\ Drive in folder 'Game' the only place I find the Steam .ex. in in my Programmes Folder(86). I have done the admin thing in there as you advise. Now lo look for the NMM ans SKSE ones.

[steinbeck]

Further to my last reply to you. NMM .exe was easy to find, where will the SKSE .exe be found? please

[Georgiegril]

just google skse

Get SKSE here: http://skse.silverlock.org/

SKSE is not a mod and does not install like a mod.

The install instructions are included in the zip file - so create a folder for it and unzip it there first then read the instructions. :thumbsup:

I have done as you suggested! Never thought about that although I do tick combatability

I have done as you said. Did read carefully and followed to the letter. Now using SKSE loader it tells me it can't find tes,exe . So I thought to install SKSE again but cant find Data\Scripts this time

 

 

Think I should uininstall and start all over again. Help here please. I hate Win 7
