Hmmmm...

I have gotten back most of my Mods plus some more. Something odd happened though when I entered the Whiterun Inn. That Warrior Woman that you fight in Fistycuffs for a few gold got up and attacked me for no reason at all... Very interesting how that happened...

I've been trying to play Skyrim for three days now. ERROR FUCKING 51.

I've tried EVERYTHING! I installed the latest drivers, I deleted EVERY SKYRIM RELATED FILE ON MY COMPUTER TWICE and reinstalled Skyrim fresh, but STILL ERROR 51.

Does anyone have any advice regarding this? The steam forums were extremely unhelpful.

Easiest solution: Play the XBox 360 version instead.

If you're set on the PC version:
They should give detailed error messages, not numbers. Oh well.
Re-install, and let steam patch Skyrim. You did buy it, yes? If not, it's your own fault. :P
DO NOT INSTALL A 4GB PATCH. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL BREAK IT. If you did, that was why you got error 51.
(Bethesda implemented their own and built it into one of their patches, and trying to install another of your own is ill-advised and has been known to cause this error)

If you are still getting errors after that, what anti-virus are you using? (Some have, in the past, caused issues by blocking steam's patching or decrypting, or worse - avast was particularly irritating as it sandboxed every steam game I got in addition to breaking patching and decrypting pre-orders for a month or more, and I eventually dumped it)

1: PC version has mods, which I am dead set on using. I also really don't want to have to buy Skyrim again for another console.
2: It literally just says and I quite "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim failed to start (error code 51)."
3: Tried twice, did not work.
4: I didn't install that patch.
5: Malware Bytes, and it's never caused problems before. The problems only started with the latest patch.

That is not a solution, it's an inferior replacement.

Maybe this helps?

The only thing there that I haven't tried is "The troubleshoot thing", and I have no idea what "troubleshoot thing" they mean.

I actually enjoyed the XBox version more than the PC version (having gotten the PC version first and played it on and off for several months immediately after release, dealing with random crashes, then installing a 4 gb patch to fix them, then dealing with the patches requiring installing new 4 gb patches, then having it become unplayable due to new patches, and patches making the 4gb patch unusable for several weeks until a new one was released, and eventually they released one which included its own, but by then I had quit playing)

Later I got the XBox version and hey - no crashes, no issues at all, worked perfectly. And it's not like I found any good mods for the PC version anyways. The only issue is that it actually has loading screens.

"The troubleshoot thing?" Not sure how that would be useful. They probably mean having steam verify the integrity of the game's cache? But if you just reinstalled it I'm not sure why it would be bad. It can't hurt to try, though. You have to go to the game library, right click the game, hit properties, go to the 'local files' tab, and hit verify integrity of game cache. (They could mean something else, who knows.)

(I haven't had any issues with the latest patch, but then I was playing it on the XBox)

Welp, I've finallt exhausted all options. Time to reinstall Windows 7 to see if that helps. If it doesn't, I'll just pirate Skyrim to play it without Steam dicking me over. You know things are bad when you're forced to pirate the game you payed for.

Hehehe... you're amusing.

"PC version is lame. It crashes and stuff."

"Well it has mods!"

"I never found any good mods so it still sucks."

"Here is a good mod you could try..."

"Meh, I'm done with the game so it doesn't matter that there are good mods. PC sux!"

I scrolled halfway through the list of changes, it mostly looked like rebalancing.

If there was anything that made the quests not 'meh' then I'd be all 'PC skyrim rox' - but what are the odds? They'd need new voice acting, etc. Far too much work for modders to do for free. Well, no, there was The Nameless Mod, but that took an incredible number of years (but was awesome).

FUCK YES! IT WORKS!
I did nothing different, I just kept telling it to start and eventually it did. YES!

EDIT: Hmm, it works about 50% of the time I try it now,
