Just remember that there is a problem with come configs that crash Skyrim if your audio isn't set to 44100 khz, have you tried changing that in your sound setting under Windows?
When you ALT+TAB back to the game, you also need to ALT+TAB all the way back to it again, then you need a wait a few seconds and it will come up. I just reread your initial post and saw that you didn't mention trying the double ALT+TAB. Just trying to cover all bases. (c:
in regard to the audio, wouldn't that present a problem even if hayden's fix wasn't implemented? Just to reiterate, I can get the game to function, it just will not start up with Hayden's fix injected.
as for the "double ALT+TAB", I'm not understanding what you mean.
I use ALT+TAB (once) to leave the game, then when I try to re-initiate the game (using ALT+TAB) it basically opens a full screen black window and just hangs there (the audio continues to play. FYI.).
