Nothing Opens.

[Brainstrain2424]

Well, I swear my computer and any electronic I have hates me. Ny Nexus Mod manager will not open. Well, it does, but the "window",for lack of a better term, does not appear on my screen. At first just uninstalling it and reinstalling it would work, when every once in a while it would do this, but now, I can't get to my computer files so that i can uninstall it. Nothing opens except for google chrome! All it does is just appear on the bottom of the screen, where you can open different windows whenever you want.

Sounds like a virus I once had. You should run a scan.

[Brainstrain2424]

It is definitely no virus. My computer has excellent protection, and if there was even something wrong, it would warn me, Anyways, what would I have gotten that could have given me a virus? Any mod I download has been reviewed by many other people.

No, it couldn't be a virus.

 

...Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

[Brainstrain2424]

I ran a scan, and it got rid of around 130 things, but I still can't open it.

 

This is what it is like. It "opens", but only in the taskbar. I can't do anything with it, I can't click/access anything.

 

 

I NEED HELP!!! AHHH!

 

...Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried running Windows in safe mode?

 

Is your problem similar to any of these?

One question: Do you have that problem with all the sessions or only with yours?
Sometimes a virus broke the configuration files inside your hidden AppData folder (I had that problem last year). Try swich session and try again, just to discard that possibility.

It took me a very long time, but I finally found out what the problem was. And it was so obvious and simple, I have no idea how I missed.

 

Here was the problem: When I clicked on Nexus MM or FOMM or my Files Exe., they would appear on the taskbar, but no where else. I did a scan, removed 130 threats, nothing happened, fully unplugged and restarted, nothing happened, and almost did a full system restore.

Well, the thing is, those three windows were all open, they just appeared off screen. So my problem was was that they were off screen, and I couldn't see them.

 

This is how you fix something that goes offscreen:

 

1.) Open/click on the window you want moved.

2.) Once opened, hover your mouse over it without clicking.

3.) When the mini picture of the window you want appears, right click on the mini picture.

4.) There you will see many different options; things like minimize, maximize, close, restore, and the one you want: move.

5.) Click move. Then use your arrow keys, and hold left. Once it appears on screen, you and move it with your mouse. Click to let go of the window.

 

OR

 

1.) Do steps one through four. If the move button is not highlighted, click restore.

2.) Now you can do step 5.
