New Nvidia drivers are out. Which can be found here:

http://www.geforce.com/News/articles/nvidia-geforce-290-36-beta-drivers-released

They do include an update to Skyrim.

The drivers also add official support for Ambient Occlusion in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

I am installing now and will post if I see any other improvements.

Has anyone else followed this link? Please do NOT if you haven't. I can't find anything wrong with it but instead of checking Nvidia's site directly through the browser I followed this link.

Firefox froze up, not responding, recovered, not responding, recovered, etc. Then other issues occurred, task bar wouldn't load completely on startup and a couple tray icon wouldn't show up
even though the applications showed they were loaded in task manager. Then slower reboots, disk access time to multiple disks was wayyy longer, etc.

Shortly after my computer won't boot now, just sits on the "Starting Windows..." screen and thats it. Start up recovery either can't complete with errors or quickly completes and the computer still won't reboot.

Now I have to reinstall OS.

So if you haven't clicked that link, DO NOT and if you have, did anyone else have issues?

This is an official site from Nvidia, you should not run into that kind of problem. I will say I have downloaded a bad beta driver package before, where it would not open after I got it and I had to go nvidia.com to redownload it, but it was probably a bad copy or it was still being uploaded to that mirror. I did not have any issues when I got it from PCGamer.com, nor is it problem for my friend over at Techgage.com that linked directly to it from his site, after I told him about earlier today like I did here. I am sorry that happened and if you feel that this link was a problem, try nvidia's primary site or report it to nvidia it is possible something may have been compromised on that site. This could also just be a case of coincidence as well, not trying to point a finger that it's your fault or your hardware, but I wont rule it out, just like I wont rule out the site being compromised. I did just try it again in both Chrome and Firefox both up to date with the latest versions and nothing happened on my end. Again I'm sorry to hear about your inconvenience, but as far as I can tell, the site is safe.

No issues here too.

Hey folks, sorry if this has been mentioned before in this thread but I'm pretty new to the site and haven't discovered if there was a way to search a specific thread instead of the whole site, but enough of that for now. I'm currently having issues trying to play Skyrim in surround, every time I go triple monitor my screen distorts, menus and everything like that stay fine and if i have 3d enabled through it works fine. Leaving me completely stumped. I've done everything from deleting .inis to a full reinstall of the game (after backing up mods/saves) but it still does this. Even odder it was working fine not 2 days ago using Hayden's fix. Any help with solving this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to WSGF Yukie666, please check this thread - http://widescreengamingforum.com/forum/forums/multi-monitor-gaming/nvidia-surround-gaming/18236/nvidia-surround-wierd-skyrim-problem and try the .ini file ive attached (post #3), place it at C:Users....DocumentsMy GamesSkyrim, its set to 5760x1080, if its not the resolution you wanna play the game you may edit "iSize H=1080
iSize W=5760" in the file, as you wish.

hello all, I've been trying to use Haydens fixes (I've tried 3, 4a, and 4b). I "INJECT THE PATCH", then start the game but it immediately crashes back to the desktop. BTW I'm using "Radeon PRO" to disable one of my GPUs on my 6990, but I've also tried to start without using Radeon PRO and get the same result (in case anyone was wondering). I've also tried to start the game, ALT+TAB, INJECT, then go back into the game, but that hasn't worked either, it just gives me a black windowed screen and hangs upon trying to re-enter.

Is there something else that I was suppose to do (i.e. an .ini file change, or some other requirement I overlooked)

Thanks for your time!
BTW, my resolution is 5760x1200 with NO bezel comp. (just in case that's important)

No, nothing else, run the fix, click on Inject Patch and launch the game. Are you running the steam version without any modified .exes ?

Yes UNmodified. Legit via steam.

DAMN, no idea why this is happening. I've been following this thread since it's inception hoping this would fix it for me. Hmmmmmm.........

Also, I let the Launcher AUTO-Detect my settings because I cannot select 5760x1200. After auto detection it states that the aspect ratio is "Standard (4:3 or 5:4)", though when in game things are displayed properly at 5760x1200 (with the exception of the broken menus of course.). BTW, the game does start for me when I DO NOT use Haydens fix.

Just to make sure I am clear you run the launcher, go to the settings let it autodetect then you run the injector, run the game by pressing Play? If that is the case then you should go to C:Users(USERNAME)Saved GamesSkyrim open up SkyrimPrefs.ini and edit these two values "iSize H=" "iSize W=" to "iSize H=1200" "iSize W=5760" save it then exit. Run the injector from Hayden, run Skyrim but don't configure any video settings and see what happens.

in regard to the "settings" I was just making it known what I had done when I first setup the game. I DO NOT mess with the settings every time. I initially let it auto detect because that seemed to be the only way to get it to allow me to utilize the 5760x1200 res. Now I skip that set (settings/auto-detect) because it is saved that way, though I do click PLAY.

I have checked the "SkyrimPrefs.ini" and it does reflect 5760x1200

Hayden fix does show "Skyrim Process Found", then it looks as if it's going to load for about 1 to 2 seconds, then crashes to desktop (no errors or anything though), it just shuts off as if it's normally shutting down, Haydens program also reflects that it was successful (in the log).
