SKSE not working

[Lorgren]

SKSE has appeared to have stopped working all together. It started yesterday 15 Nov.

 

I am using MO and had downloaded a number of mods, installed them but had not activated them. Tried to launch skyrim via the skse button in MO a small loader window pops up and states "A component of the Skyrim Script Extender has stopped working". It doesn't even start the game. This was working flawlessly the night before.

I have since:

- activated the mods

- deactivated the mods

- uninstalled the mods

- deactivated ALL my mods save vanilla

- restarted steam

- restarted my computer

- installed new nvida drivers

- reinstalled skse 2-3 times as per Gopher's guide and S.T.E.P.'s

- deleted/uninstalled skyrim as per the S.T.E.P. guide

- deleted/uninstalled MO 

- reinstalled skyrim fresh from steam

- reinstalled MO as per S.T.E.P. guide

- reninstalled ONLY SKSE via the S.T.E.P. guide

 

 and i still the the exact same message. Skyrim works fine lauching from the launcher. But in no way can I launch Skyrim with SKSE, via MO or the skse loader.

I have searched many forums and can not find answers to this issues, most can at least launch SKSE from the loader.

 

Can anyone shed any light on this? I am completely baffled at this point.

@GrantSP: Thanks for the thoughts on Hialgo Boost. I will try that.

========================

Further to my issue - I think I found a culprit.

- Uninstalled stuff I indicated in my previous long post.

- Ran through my suite of anti-malware programs. No issues.

- Left ENB boost and Hialgo Boost on as before.

- Tried Skyrim again. It worked again. Yeah!

- Reinstalled LOOT 10.1. Skyrim worked. (No ENB or Hialgo issues)

- Turned on nVidia in-game overlay. Still working.

- Reinstalled Razer Synapse which forced a reboot. Still Working. WTF?

- Enabled Synapse in-game overlay. Still working. WTF?

- Rebooted 2nd time. Now I get the ENB/Hialgo crashes again. (What I expected)

- Uninstalled Razer Synapse again. Rebooted.

- Now Skyrim is working again.

 

I think I can claim the Synapse software is the culprit. Why - who knows? Fortunately I don't need that stuff anyway. I'm not that hard-core a gamer. I can still use the thumb buttons the way I need to on my slick Naga Chroma.

 

Somewhat muddying the waters is that Microsoft rolled out some mandatory updates today. Twice. First time happened before I ran the above tests after I had to install SolidWorks 3D. 2nd time came (I recall) at the 2nd reboot after reinstalling Synapse in the middle of the above tests.

 

I find it interesting that an Anti-Virus issue for one person, and gaming mouse software for me caused virtually the same errors.

 

I will claim victory and move on.

 

If someone thinks of a reason for this behavior - I would be curious to know...

 

[Though let us just appreciate for a moment that considering what we graphically impose on machines that can't count past one - it's wonder computers work at all...]

 

Happy Turkey Day to all in the States!
