I'm going out of my mind here....

I experience CTD 1 (one) second after I load a saved game.
I've just now tested a new game - and it works.

Why would my saves be crashing all of a sudden... I am at 131.51 hours of game play, and I've played the game just yesterday like any other day.
I have lots of mods <<<----- this does not matter, believe me.

The only changes from yesterday to today are:

• Tweaked the 'SkyrimPrefs.ini' file - but then after experiencing the CTD I put back the backup .ini file (the one before I made any changes) but that didn't help so I also deleted the file and let the 'SkyrimLauncher.exe' to auto detect everything again from new.
  
• Installed a single new mod which makes the favorites menu categorized - but of course in order to revert back to a state when the game worked perfectly fine I uninstalled that mod using the SkyrimNexus Mod Manager.
  
• Installed a new nVidia Graphics driver v290.53 beta (instead of the previous one I had which was 290.36 beta) - again, for the matter of reverting back to a state when the game worked just fine, I preformed a clean install of my previous drivers.

Right now, all the changes I've done have been reverted back to what they were yesterday, yet I cannot load a saved game file.
And I have ran out of reasons to why this will still be happening.

Please help, I'm eagerly waiting for replies.


Not that it matters but here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Core I7 930 (2.80 GHz)
Motherboard: Asus P6X58D Premium
System Memory: 2GB (DDR3-1333) x 3
Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (1GB)
Audio Adapter: Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (SP1)
Current Graphics Driver: GeForce 290.36 Driver (beta)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Version 1.3.10.0

I hear some people have to sit through the opening carriage sequence(turn autosave off) if you can try that and then try and load your save game.

Did you change Ugrids and save the game?

Oh my god, I'm so stupid.
Yes, you are right Half64, I did change 'uGridsToLoad' (this was in 'Skyrim.ini' and not 'SkyrimPrefs.ini')
I have now put it back and it works... damn, I must not do so many changes regarding one game too much in one batch....
Cuz I've been re-installing my graphics driver 3 times now....
*sigh*
Thank you!

Normally it wouldn't matter but they store such info in the save files for some reason in regard to uGrids.

I see.
Well, again, thanks for the help.
I've installed my new driver, mod and other tweaks and all is well.

Glad you got it working and without sitting through that (cool once) opening scene
