GSDfan, thank you, I will try this procedure as soon as Christmas is over

I think maybe its not recognizing the fomod installer, I may have to just have him download manually, but I know there is a fix for this, I found it about 6 months ago when I was having the same problem with my new computer, I just cant remember what it was.

No, thats not what I got, thats what I'm supposed to get, what I got is a windows 8 message that you get when downloading an app from the app store. I wish I could show you a screen capture of it but the computer in question is not here right now.

Im downloading with MO. I had this problem before and there was a setting somewhere that fixed it. Now I am helping a friend who is new to modding and just got a new computer for christmas. I was working on setting him up and ran into the same issue but it has been about 6 months since I was dealing with it and I dont remember what the fix was, just that it was a setting somewhere in windows Internet explorer

I followed Gophers instructions on installation, so yeah, MO is set to handle nxm links, it's got to be a setting somewhere in windows 8.1. I hate 8.1 can''t ever find anything. Like the old saying goes if your a hammer everything looks like a nail. I guess the new saying should be if your windows 8.1 everything looks like an app.

New Alienware laptop. just downloaded and installed MO, went to nexus and tried to download a mod and I keep getting a message asking if I want this app on my computer. If I say yes it sends me to the app store to find an app that can open the mod. There is of course no app available to open it because it is a mod for skyrim. not an app. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks
