Skyrim became dark after trying to install Vividian ENB

[lach1feragh]

After I tried installing it and giving up, my Skyrim became really dark. I tried just reverting back the changes but now I'm not sure what I could have done wrong. Here's my Skyrim.ini and Skyrim.pref. I hope you guys can figure out what I could have done wrong. Oh and here's the changes on what Vividian ENB asked to do, which I followed but gave up.

 

1. ENB Setup: Install The latest ENB to the Skyrim installation directory.
In short: you just need the d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe from the wrapper directory. 
Copy those two files to your skyrim Main Directory

2. Vividian 7.0 Main install: 
1. Install The Vividian ENB files with your favorite Mod manager 
2. After the installation is completed the installer created a new Directory for you in 
your Skyrim/Data folder called "Vividian ENB Install Files"
3. Copy all content from that Folder to your Skyrim Folder.
If you are using Mod Organizer you will find this folder in your: 
modorganizer/mods/Vividian ENB - Weather and Lighting Enhancement/ folder

3. Skyrimprefs.ini Please make sure you have all nessesary Skyrim Prefs set correctly in your skyrimprefs.ini

Back up your skyrim.ini and skyrim.pref file and move them somewhere safe then delete the original ones from the folder. Load of skyrim through the normal launcher and not through SKSE as it's loading it'll make new files of the ones you deleted and then try your game again once it finishing loading then you can close it and launch it through SKSE if you are using it.

I've already tried doing that but still the same thing. If it's not my skyrimpref.ini, could it be something with my enblocal.ini? 

[myuhinny]

It might be not sure I don't mess much with ENB's much as most make it too bright during the day and to dark at night but you could probably try backing up the enblocal.ini then deleting it and then seeing if it changes anything.
