Run launcher, that's why I was getting the missing audio .dll and had to install DirectX to resolve the issue.
Hey!!!!! I have the files now.
Hopefully I can finally get the game to run.
After a wipe and fresh reload of my HDD, I've been working for two days on getting Skyrim running again. Weird stuff, Update and DLC.esm files in my overwrite folder, the fore mentioned .dll issue, getting an error about nxm files not being recognized by Firefox when trying to download mods (did them all manually) and the .ini files.
