Hi

I recently installed a graphics card in my pc so I can start gaming and tried to install Skyrim, I had no problem installing the game, but it just does not launch, no start screen of any kind, the mouse just shows the busy icon for 1 second and nothing happens. Thanks in advance for any help.

What version of Windows are you running?

What graphics card did you install?

Did you uninstall the drivers for your previous graphic card before installing the new one?

Im running windows 7 with a Nvidia gt 610 graphics card, no previous card was installed, so nothing to uninstall.

I'd be doubtful if the 610 can even run that game, it's not a real graphics card for gaming, you will need at least a 440, 540 or 640 to run any games.

However; in the Control Panel should be a search control panel field at the top
Type "Event"
Should pull up the "View event logs"

Click on Windows Logs -> Application and there should be "Skyrim.exe" listed and the error code.

Eitherway; return that GPU and pick up a 640. You cannot run games on it.

Hi, thanks for the help, I downloaded the game from a different site and installed it, it runs perfectly in high graphics with no lag from the 610 gpu. Thanks again for the help.
