Need help...CTD with purple screen at start menu...
Posted: Wed May 30, 2012 12:38 pm
I downloaded from Steam and started up Skyrim. It loads the Beth logo, then when it goes into the start, "New-Load-Credits-Quit" menu, the screen is slowly overcome by a solid purple screen. It then tries to load, when I select "New", then CTDs. I just got the rig built and it ran the free Batman game I got with my card. Everything has ran flawlessly until now.
I have searched everywhere. There have been issues with startup CTDs and the audio settings, but none have described a "purple"
screen. I tried adjusting the video settings....nothing...even on low. I tried adjusting the sound settings, and nothing.
I am a complete newb to PC gaming and all this techy stuff. I have no idea what I'm doing, really. I can't tell if I have the latest update for the game. I assume it was downloaded from Steam, with the latest and greatest.
I made the move to PC, because of Skyrim. I have a lot of money invested and know you guys have been a great support in my build. I thank you very much. Help a dumb old man with a prob...will ya?
Thanks in advance.
