Any Skyrim players?

I got in to it late and it made me realize how badly I needed to upgrade my PC. So I bit the bullet and bought a nice new machine with the lastest i7 Quad core with gobs of memory and a 4gig Nvidia video card. Plugged it all in and loaded up the game.

Windows 8.1 won't play it. :no: And a bunch of other games, especially Steam games.

This made me unhappy. As it turns out you can get it work but none of the solutions that other people have used has worked for me yet. So annoying!

Any ideas?



PS. I'm pretty much hating 8.1 so far. I guess I'll get used to it but a lot of it will continue to suck.
