In the use of Skyrim the game stops. I am able to get it back by selecting the Skyrim Icon on the toolbar that gets a blank screen with Skyrim at the top. I select the Skyrim at the top and drag it up which gives me a Skyrim Icon on the toolbar and by clicking it twice I get the game back. It is an interesting game but having it quit sometimes only seconds apart and some times I may get 2 or 3 minutes of gameplay. Please help!!!!!! Gene

Sounds like you have a conflict with some application running in the background -- what other programs are running that might be taking control of the system resources ? (ie. Windows Sidebar, Active scanning Anti Virus package, etc.) Shut them down and see if the problem goes away ! Games in general do not like to run in multitasking environments and any other program that steals memory focus from the game can cause the game to minimize, close or CTD.

Have you with other games the same problem ????

What mods do you have installed?

Are you using Boss? Wyre Bash? TES5Edit? NMM?

whats your computer specs?
