Skyrim version: 1.0

There is no such thing as a legal version of Skyrim that doesn't tie you to Steam. The software for steam is still on the disk. It sounds as though you have one or more corrupted files and need to run the file integrity checker in the Steam menu.

Non Steam installs are not possible.

The OP needs to send me a PM explaining how he runs this without Steam.
