Simple Defeat

[Conagher]

It's been awhile (more than 1/2 year) since I played SE. But I did play the AE version. I thought I'd give it a go once again yesterday. My last save was doing fine until I logged off and tried to play again late last night. It said SKSE was not running and that SKYUI isn't working nor RaceMenu. I removed all my mods from Vortex, uninstalled/re-installed SE, downloaded SKSE and FNIS again. I let Vortex handle the FNIS but I manually copied and pasted the SKSE stuff. I created another shortcut for SKSE.exe and launched from there. All was fine---getting out of Helgen and on to Riverwood. Got my request to go to Whiterun. I backtracked alil to Embershard Mine. Everything fine until I exited out of the Mine. Error message...SKSE not running. I had alrdy checked "getskseversion" and the numbers were correct. I tilded showracemenu but I did not have all the sliders I usually have. Those at the end were blank. Below is my Mod List: (in load order from Vortex. No problems were detected and FNIS was 0 on Consistencies. Some 1211 animations running ( I think that's the right number).
