Skyrim can't start because it's missing a file

I spent the last 3 days trying to get all my Oblivion mods working. I failed so miserably that I turned on Skyrim. Now. Skyrim doesn't work! I haven't changed a damn thing since I last played it. This appears to be a daily thing for me now. I need my own section of LL just to post all my problems.  :angry:

WTF!?

LL needs some kind of award.  :) I asked Steam about this, and I probably won't get an answer from them until tomorrow night.

I think that error is from DirectX 9.

 

Downloading and installing it should fix that, here is the download link:

Actually, I use DirectX10, but I found it on your link. Thank you very much!

 

Another thing you could try is to verify your local content via steam, maybe it helps.

That's the very first thing I did.  :P It said it was missing one file, and that it reinstalled it. Turns out it wasn't the right file that got replaced. LL solves all my problems it seems, not Steam, or Bethesda, or anyone else.

 

Here ya go m8, had same prob u can have my copy,

the DLL file and instructions are included m8..

How very convenient.  :D I'm glad you just had that lying around. If DirectX10 doesn't do it, this kinda has to, doesn't it?

 

 

LL is THEE shiznit! Thanks everyone! You all put other forums to shame.  ;)

Okay, I'm torn about who to put in the "best answer" block (I can only pick one of you), but I think it has to go to skynet424, simply because it's EXACTLY what I'm missing. I'll mark 'solved' for now, but if it doesn't solve the problem (if there's more missing than that), then I'll come reopen the case. I shouldn't have to though. (I hope)

I have searched the net and according to others Skyrim ain't DX10.....Hope I am wrong as graphics is good under 9 but look better under 10.

Also Fallout 3 has or had the same xinput problem as well.

 

Let me know if it fixed ya problem m8, anything else giz a shout..
