Skyrim won't start with ENB after OS reinstall.

[Veladarius]

So my drive with my OS died a sudden death and required replacement and a complete OS reinstall. My Skyrim installation (along with my other Steam games) were located on a separate drive and were not affected (for the most part). After reinstalling the OS and all the drivers (latest versions) I get an error when trying to run Skyrim with the enb enabled. This is the error I get: The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000b7). and has to close out. I replaced the d3d9 dll in the Skyrim folder with the one installed with the reinstall and the game works (also works if I rename the d3d9 dll to something else) but I have no enb. I reinstalled the skyrim game files and replaced the enb files as well but no luck.

Product of quick googling. It has a few things you could try if you have not already.

Looks like that was it. I used C Cleaner and it found a number of issues that it fixed and it is working properly now. That is the first time I have used a registry cleaner and it didn't completely break my OS install.

Also, have you installed DX9.0c? This even works on Windows 7/64.

I reinstalled DX9.0c along with several other things (C++ redistributables, video and motherboard drivers and such) but cleaning the registry worked.

You mean install DX9.0c over DX11?

All the different parts of 9, 10 and 11 are there for the games that use whichever one they were developed on. Skyrim uses DX9 for the most part.
