I have a GTX 770 in a desktop. Steam is installed outside of Program Files because I was having problems with it before. Thanks for trying to help. I actually figured out what the problem was. I'm on Windows 8.1 and it doesn't install older versions of DirectX by default. After installing the DirectX 9.0 runtime everything started to work like it was supposed to. It gave me a huge headache until I figured it out.

Maybe somebody can help me, maybe not. I'm going through the S.T.E.P. installation process and trying to install the ENBoost files. I've followed the directions at https://wiki.step-project.com/ENBoost#Recommendations are precisely as I can manage, but if I have the three files (d3d9.dll, enbhost.exe, and enblocal.ini) in my Skyrim folder the game just will not start. It crashes immediately without even getting to the initial logo screen. If I remove the files, bam. It boots right up. I've tried different variations of settings in enblocal.ini, but can't get anything to work. Here are the current contents of my enblocal.ini: [MEMORY]ExpandSystemMemoryX64=trueReduceSystemMemoryUsage=trueDisableDriverMemoryManager=falseDisablePreloadToVRAM=falseEnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=falseReservedMemorySizeMb=256VideoMemorySizeMb=0EnableCompression=falseAutodetectVideoMemorySize=true If anybody has any ideas, they'd be much appreciated. Thanks
