YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Good evening! This is probably a noob question or I am just beeing stupid (wouldn't be the first time ... ). When I select something in the object window and click Preview, nothing happens. The "Open Windows" thing says that the preview window is open.I already thought that it was just "offscreen" somewhere so I changed the display resolution, and looked carefully around the edges of the screen, but it doesn't look like it is there.I just got this computer a few months ago and reinstalled all the things ( Skyrim, CK, Steam ...) and this is the first time that I am using the CK on this computer.On my other computer (crappy laptop that could barely run Skyrim on lowest settings) everything worked fine .... I also have Fallout 4 installed and the Creation Kit for that game works fine, including the preview window. So I don't think it's the fault of the computer itself. If anybody knows a solution for this weird problem, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 It's opening off screen. Make your desktop as large as possible then try again. Or it may be opening on a 2nd screen if you used to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I don't have a second monitor connected, the resolution is already at the maximum and I have already tried that "cascading windows" thing.Maybe I should try connecting a second screen, I don't know ...

agerweb Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Have you tried deleting the two editor ini files and then Verifying Integrity of Tool files in Steam to replace them? To do this right click on the CK in Steam select Properties then select the Local Files Tab and click Verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Yesss!!!!!1I finally got it working!That "Verify files" thing didn't work. When I deleted the ini files and then verified the files through steam it didn't add new ini files back in and the CK gave me a warning that it couldn't find some nifs.But if I change some values in the SkyrimEditorPrefs.ini file, it works: [General]iPreviewH=762iPreviewW=778iPreviewY=200iPreviewX=200 As far as I can tell those values set the size and position of the Preview window. Those above worked for me and put the preview window in the "visible" area of my screen.Maybe it is because on my old computer I had 2 screens and I had the preview window on the second screen.When I copied everything over to my new computer, those values were still set up for having 2 displays (so the position was off by a lot).But now, everything works!Nice!
