I cannot mark the quest location in the map. some of the texts describe the location as [,,,,] , and i can't figure out where to go! please help me with this.

ps: no mod installed

Actually i think you should update your skyrim to the latest patch, official and unofficial !!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------

See if you have any map.swf in the following folder: SteamApps/Common/Skyrim/Data/Interface

If you do rename the file map.swf to map.swf BAK. After you rename it the quest markers should be normal again......

------------------------------------------------

BUT: That's a workaround for those that have map mods installed.

If you don't have it, or any map mods then you have a different issue.

-------------------------------------------------

i dont have any map.swf in the folder.

My skyrim is the steam version,it's updated to the last version, right??

Press escape while in game and look at the bottom left hand corner. It shows which version you have. (current version: 1.9.32.0.8)

You can check it here: http://i.stack.imgur.com/sB88L.jpg

Yes, and have you installed the unofficial patch as well ???

You can download it from: http://afkmods.iguanadons.net/index.php?/files/file/659-unofficial-skyrim-patch/

my version is the current 1.9.32.0.8. i installed the unofficial patch but dont work

It's worth to try:

Verify integrity of game cache

1. Completely exit Steam
2. Right-click on the shortcut which you use to launch Steam
3. Select "Run as Administrator"
4. Load Steam
5. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
6. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
7. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
8. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.

There is a mod you can install but you will actually have colored map markers.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26556/?tab=2&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D26556&pUp=1

You should register on nexus (for free), so you can download that file.

For any case backup your saves. So if something goes wrong...

Download the file and extract to the files to your data folder.

- "map.swf" goes in the [...\skyrim\data\interface] folder.

- "hudmenu.gfx" goes in the [...\skyrim\data\interface\exported] folder.

but read the instructions of the above page as well.

already did this,dont work. Man, i dont know whats going on.

any older previous saves ???
