Thank you. That is probably what solved my problem. I updated my 32 and 64 bit versions of 2008, 2010, but I also went and used that for 2012. The solution was right there in front of my face makes me feel like a fool. But thank you guys for the help. Hopefully it's smoothish sailing from here.
Thank you. I believe you guys. But for testing purposes I'm going to install an ENB and use Skyrim Performance Moniter to see what goes on. I think I'll try one of the ones Gopher is thinking of using for the next chapter of his LP. "Natural lighting and atmospherics". I just want to be able to show the performance log with the enb to my bro and he might suggest good video cards too. I know that Gopher has a good video card and didn't take much of a performance hit after he turned off depth of field in live testing. I would like to know how to display a question as "solved" like I've seen by some of the other ones. (Gopher has HD DLC optimized, and Skyrim HD 2k textures)
