Creation Kit Freeze - Editing World CElls

[BlackCompany]

Greetings all. I have searched all over for this and cannot find information anywhere. I hope someone might have a suggestion or two.

 

Any time I try and edit world cells in the Tamriel world space using the Skyrim creation kit, once I save and choose Exit the Creation Kit simply freeze. Just sits there, clocking. I essentially have to "crsh" it to close it. I click the red X after waiting through more than 5 minutes of clocking and my computer says the program has stopped responding.

 

To reiterate, this happens when I change anything in ANY world cell.

 

Just today I clicked "Has Full Lod" for the Talos statue on the road near Windhelm. I saved my ESP. That was literally all I did. The creation kit still froze when I tried to exit.

 

Anyone else seeing this?

 

My PC Specs:

 

3.2Ghz AMD Phenom X4 Black Ed.

8GB Corsair RAM

Nvidia GTX 460, 2GB

7200 RPM HDD (no solid state)

Steam and Skyrim installed under C Drive, NOT program files

 

Having nearly a decade of IT experience, of course I am running as an Administrator on the PC. :)

 

Thanks in advance for any information regarding this.
