Help With Skyrim

When running Skyrim through Mod Organizer's SKSE selection from the dropdown menu (installed like Gopher did), windowed mode works fine, but when I run in windowless mode, I get an endless black screen.  I have no idea what might cause this.  

 

Vanilla Skyrim runs in both windowed and windowless.  Neither of my mod profiles run in Windowless (no matter the resolution), but they do run in windowed.

 

Thank you for any and all help/comments.

Buggiest game ever, that's probably why, just run in borderless windowed mode.

It doesn't support 1440p in windowed mode, I don't think, so I'm stuck with this:

Try editing the resolution in skyrimprefs.ini, I had to edit mine to get it to be 21:9

Since you mentioned SKSE, I'd presuming we're talking Oldrim (2011) here.

I personally run and manage my mods with Nexus Mod Manager (newest version always, most folks who've had problems with it were running very old versions) and have no problems running Skyrim at 2560x1440 Borderless Windowed - Once set up as such through the vanilla Skyrim launcher program (SkyrimLauncher.exe inside the Skyrim install location).

Ah, thanks, because me editing the display height and width in skrimprefs didn't work.

Yeah, the launcher only has options for 1440p when in windowless mode.  Windowed goes up to 1080p.  That is for me, at least, but there's no reason we should be different.

It didn't work.  I've been advised to check in MO's files, so that's what I'll do.

It's in the OP, "When running Skyrim through Mod Organizer's SKSE selection from the dropdown menu (installed like Gopher did), windowed mode works fine, but when I run in windowless mode, I get an endless black screen. "

'Tworked.  Thank you.  

 

If anyone has any idea about the fix for the windowless mode endless black screen, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Ah, I misunderstood. By "windowless" you mean "full screen". I got it. ;) 

 

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what could be causing this problem. The game is extremely buggy as it is. Sometimes I have to start the game, then exit and re-start it again for all my mods to load properly.

Yeah, sorry, I probably should've made that more clear.

 

That's pretty much the answer I've gotten so far from everyone.
