Books off-centered.
So I'm having this really weird problem with books in skyrim, where books...randomly MIGHT get off-centered whenever I'm trying to read them, yes randomly, I know its really weird.

SO whenever I'm opening a book, there''s a really high change I might not get to read very well, the left side of the book, because it's off-screen...and I know you can play the game without reading anything, but I actually enjoy reading these "books"

I've tried using:
[Interface]

fBookDistance=125.0000
fBookPosWidthPercentage=0.6000

Also changed the values to different ones, but to NO avail, book still gets random positioning....

removing these values doesn't help at all either...

Sorted your load order with LOOT? What resolution is your display set to?

Well my desktop is set to 1280x1024 but I set the one in-game to 1080x768 to increase my fps, and my load order is sorted with loot.

Match your desktop resolution to game?

This^^^^ or vice versa, match your game to your desktop, but without a 3rd party program most of the time 1920 x 1080 is the best you are going to get. My screen will do 2544 or something and I fiddled with the game forever trying to get it to work. Finally gave up as no amount of GPU and ini tweaking would work.The game was designed for 1920 x 1080

But I don't want to match the desktop resolution to the game, it would screw up too much stuff on my pc...

Seriously, am I the ONLY one playing on lower resolution just so the game goes smoothly? there must be a way to correct these damn books...notes look just fine in game, in fact my game works soo well know, since I reduced the number of mods I'm playing, I ran one day Skyrim for over 5 hours, and it worked with no problem...

Well my game doesn't go higher than 1280x1080, it just seems wrong for the game to work fine, but on lower resolution this 1 thing, doesn;t work...besides it's not always that my books look like that, sometimes they look fine, SOMETIMES...this only makes me think..what the hell is wrong with it?

There are mods to fix bookshelves and/or book placement. eg. (not endorsing just an example):
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49770/?

Point is if you search "skyrim book bookshelf fix mod" there are lots of options.

Well thanks, I guess, I'm not having problems with bookshelves, but I will try this mod out, even though I try to use fewer mods that use scripts..maybe this mod will fix my problem

Edit: well...the bookshelf mod didn't solve my problem :'\

Did you try matching "desktop" resolution to "game" resolution. So, desktop 1280X1080 (if that is what you use in-game) game 1280X1080 just to see if that resolves the issue. If it does....
You can always change your desktop resolution after playing skyrim session to what you want. Huge pain but...

Sorted your load order with LOOT? At this point posting your load order will help. Upper right of LOOT the three dots, then choose copy load order and paste that here.
