Hello, so although I'm only recently registered to the Bethesda Community, I've been playing the games for years and reading forum posts but simply never had a reason to create a file until now. I recently purchased Skyrim for the PC after playing through the xbox version twice because I heard exciting promises of the Community Kit but unfortunately there seems to be a major graphical issue in which trees and sometimes rocks and other "nature things" continue far beyond where they're supposed to go. Below are screenshots of the issue occurring in both the lowest and ultra settings. Besides this issue, the game runs perfectly smooth with no lag on my hp dv7-4287cl. (The game reccomends playing in High detail which i usually do but the issue still occurs there and in medium as well) If anyone knows of a fix for this issue, it would be much appreciated for oftentimes the game is nearly unplayable outside with the tips of objects miles away sneaking into the frame.
Computer Specs:
WIndows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
8GB RAM
Intel ® Core i5 CPU M480 @ 2.67GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6550

Ok, update--apparently I can't post links so if you just go to my steam profile "zappingstar", the two screenshots are there.

I posted the same question on yahoo answers hoping for some help and they suggested reinstalling the game and creating a new character but this didn't seem to help.
