My skyrim launcher is broken. Whenever i launch skyrim it always detects my video hardware and sets recommended settings. The only way to get skyrim fullscreen was to edit the skyrimprefs.ini and that worked!

So now my Data files is still greyed out so i go back to skyrimprefs and add enablefileselection but that doesnt do anything. I know its the right ini file because its the one that i edited to make fullscreen.
