willman0988 Posted February 5, 2012 ID:523826 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ok... So I bought Elder scrolls Skyrim yesterday. The download went fine but when I tried to play it, I had a little problem. Normally when I have problems with my computer I ask a friend but he has never seen this before and told me to try asking here. I recorded via fraps what went wrong and posted it on youtube to better show the problem.I have all the system requirements for Skyrim.I play many games on the computer and only had this problem with one other game which I just assumed the game was messed up.I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it stayed the same.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooE7jr2gQIYOn the video I show the cursor moves fine there is just a slight problem with the screen. It also pauses fine as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman0988 Posted February 5, 2012 Author ID:523827 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Not sure how or if I can edit on this forum. Just wanted to note the sound is fine and through the whatever you can still see the man in detail as he is supposed to look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted February 5, 2012 ID:523850 Share Posted February 5, 2012 What does elderscrolls.com support say ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman0988 Posted February 5, 2012 Author ID:523885 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Unless I am missing something the support on that site doesn't seem to have anything. I had emailed Bethesda yesterday. They have not responded as it is a weekend most likely. I also don't think it is the game itself. So I am not certain if they would know.

fivealive Posted February 8, 2012 ID:524630 Share Posted February 8, 2012 anyone else have an idea on whats causing this ( im the friend who told him to ask here since you guys are so good with computer related issues)iv had him update his graphics cardand he meets the requirements so im not sure what the issue is exactly ( we live far apart and with out actually looking at the machine i cant be of much help)i actually wonder if it might be a virus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted February 8, 2012 ID:524641 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Updating his Graphics Card drivers is a good idea as if there are display problems it could be how the GPU is being used by the game and how the OS drivers interact with the OS.I doubt it is a virus or a trojan. Except for displaying specific content, modifying a game's video display is not a part of malware payload. Malware *may* have malicious intent and corrupt a display just because they can but, it would be a general video problem seen using multiple applications and not something as specific as seen here. This is something that is most likely a problem in how the game interacts with the hardware and software. That's why the first line of support is the game vendor. They may know of incompatibility issues between the graphics card vendor and their game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
