Vividian ENB CTD after Alduin Loading Screen on New Game

[fightinfilipino]

i'm driving myself up the wall here and need some help. here are my system specs: https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Fightinfilipino/SystemSpecs

 

i'm running Windows 8.1 64 bit.

 

i'm trying to get Vividian ENB to work on my STEP install. for some reason, the game keeps CTDing when i set Vividian to run. it does NOT CTD with just ENBoost set. i've made sure to set the right parameters in Skyrim.ini, Skyrimprefs.ini, and the enblocal.ini. according to the Memory Blocks Log mod, memory is being allocated correctly (512 and 256).

 

i saw an issue regarding needing to reinstall the DirectX 9.0c runtime, so i downloaded the full runtime and installed that without issue.

 

i STILL can't get Skyrim to run with the ENB. anyone know what i can try to fix this?
