I figured it out. I am new to Mod Organizer and didn't realize that some of the skyrim BSAs were not active.

OK, I have now backed up and deleted my Skrim folder. I restored a backup of the clean install and then verified the game cache. I opened skyrim from Steam and reset the settings for video and made sure it ran properly and it did. When I open that clean version from MO, I get exactly the same thing as before. I am convinced that there is some stupid setting I'm missing somewhere or a path is wrong but I can't find anything. Skyrim and MO are on different drives, if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the replies. I tried disabling all the mods in MO and it made no difference. Launching with and without SKSE makes no difference. I disabled ENB and it also made no difference. It is the English version of the game and if I launch it from the Skyrim Launcher or directly, without MO, it works fine so it's something that MO is doing. I copied the contents of the Skyrim.ini and the Skyrimprefs.ini from the default location and pasted into the MO versions to make sure they matched. That also didn't effect the problem.

I am just starting to switch from NMM to MO and this is the hurdle that I haven't been able to get by yet. I get garbled text (Continue, Load, etc..) on the initial screen and no mouse cursor.
