I succesfully put the ENB folders in my Skyrim directory but when i start up the game, the menu shows up then quits. How do i fix this?

d3d9.dll Makes the menu close when starting up Skyrim.

Just download latest enb for skyrim http://enbdev.com/, put all files from wrapper directory into your game folder where is TESV.exe. Than download eny enb preset from nexus and copy files in skyrim directory with raplacment. Read the mod page for detailes

I had this same issue, when I "installed" ENB. Upon clicking the Skyrim shortcut it would start to load then crash. The reason is its missing some vital components from DirectX9c . Go to the microsoft website and search for dx9c webinstaller: download and run. Your problem should go away

or use this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Not all the files from the wrapper directory, just the d3d9.dll, enbhost.exe, and enblocal.ini files. You might need to edit or configure the enblocal.ini file for your system, as pointed out in the guide. And depending on the particular ENB preset you're using, you may need to adjust such things such as the proxy library if the ENB you're using uses SweetFX

If installing d3d9.dll into your Skyrim folder is causing crashes there might be a solution in this post.

If enb preset in nexus is old, latest enb have new effects files in directory (undewater effects for example). I put all files from wrapper and have still no problems

If you don't edit the ENBlocal.ini to match your installed memory correctly that is pretty much the expected error. Also remember to properly configure the Skyrimprefs.ini to allow the preset to work. and finally remember that if you run the vanilla launcher after installing an enb preset and click on options you just undid all the changes to the Skyrimprefs.ini ... make a copy of both of the edited ini files and keep them safe so you can restore when you need to.

Also follow Paddy_Wagon's link above if needed ... there were updates to the way Windows handles the changes to Dx-9 a few years ago.

I have no clue what you guys are talking about right now.

I have a Windows 10.

I Installed ENB

I put enb host, series, and local inside Skyrim folder

I put d3d9.dll in the folder.

I put the preset folder enbseries in Skyrim folder.

Game does not start up.

[Comedy Shorts Gamer]

also DirectX9c does not work.

[Avrie]

You'll have to actually read the instructions. the ENBLocal.ini file has to reflect the correct installed Vram or it will not load.

[Comedy Shorts Gamer]

Im not a computer expert nor have any expierence with downloading mods, iam really confused what this stuff even means.

[Comedy Shorts Gamer]

I followed the exact same steps that this guy in the video did, but the game just doesnt want to start up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKz2WVC-ezw

[Comedy Shorts Gamer]

If i try to start up TESV.exe

Error code 0xc0000001 pops up.

That vid included nothing about setting memory, as Avrie mentioned in his post and which is included in the guide I linked. There is a reason that I linked that guide, a reason it is included in a pinned topic, and a reason that the topic is pinned. Reason is that those are the best places to get information regarding the game.

Follow the guide I linked, especially the part as to setting the proper Vram.

Also, considering what you say in post #12, you need to read the following:
