Tank0123 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I have all the SKSE files in the Skyrim directory folder like it says. But whenever I try to use the SKSE loader, it says: The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable. I have the latest version of Skyrim AND I've redownloaded SKSE twice. What could be the problem? I've also had problems running the HiAlgo performance booster, but that's a whole other problem. For now, let's focus on SKSE. Note: I am running the new Windows 8, this laptop is brand new. I heard there could be problems with W8 -- true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoSxorpio Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Extract CONTENTS of first folder as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/zEmys.png Then create shortcut of skse_loader.exe, now located in your Skyrim folder. Place shortcut in your favorite game running spot and run the game from this from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthienanarion Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 No, there are no problems with Win8 and Skyrim. I've used SKSE and HiAlgoBoost extensively, and Win8 for almost a year. Validate your game cache for Skyrim in Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3463132User Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 There are no problems with Windows 8, well no more than Skyrim in Windows 7 at least. xD Have you tried running skse_loader.exe as Administrator - That works for me, especially If your Skyrim/Steam folder has a rather high security feature on it.

Well, I think I'm getting somewhere with this. It gives me a different error when I try. Says: "Cannot find (location of SKSE_loader, which is in Steam folder), Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." It's something different, so maybe it's progress.

Deleted3463132User Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hmmm. Can you try these things: (1) Re-Download SKSE and extract it into the Skyrim Folder where TESV.exe is located, (for any missing files)(2) Right click the Steam Folder- (i) Properties (ii) Security Tab (iii) Set everybody (CREATER OWNER, User, Administrator have full control (for the moment)) Then run SKSE as admin again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3463132User Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Oh and do you have an SKSE_Log file or something similar in your Skyrim Folder, if so please paste it here for troubleshooting And yes, you're getting closer to solving this.

Tank0123 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Alright, I tried that first thing. Same "Cannot locate" error. As for the SKSE_Log file, if it's supposed to be in the Skyrim directory I cannot find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korun Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 alright do this : follow exactly what it says in this Vid by Gopher it must work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank0123 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) alright do this : follow exactly what it says in this Vid by Gopher it must work :) But I did ALL of that. In so many words: ExtractCopy contents to Skyrim directory That's it. I don't know what's going on. I've reinstalled it so many times, but it still fails me. Actually, there's still hope. What does an UNMODDED Skyrim directory look like? I've been looking everywhere for a pic. Maybe I have something extra in there that shouldn't be there. Also, will uninstalling/reinstalling Skyrim delete all of my mod/save game content? I had to do this a few times with Oblivion and Fallout 3, but I'm not sure if it will work with Skyrim (like, if it deletes everything).
