How Do You Read Acm Books Online?

Skyrim freezes when I try to read certain books?

• Game freezes when I try to read certain books. I can still hear the sounds in background but mouse pointer freezes. And there is no response from the game for whatever I do. So I have to use Alt+Ctrl+Del to get out. It happens all the time no matter where I am or which quest I am in. But it happens with only certain books. Books that are giving me problems: Whiteruns's home decoration guide, Lost Legends, A Gentleman's Guide to Whiterun, The Holds of Skyrim, The woodcutter's wife .. thats all I can remember for now. If you see these books on the floor or in a shelf, they all have a faded brown cover. If you put any of these books in your inventory (which is very difficult, as when you pick up the book, game freezes. However, 'Whiteruns's home decoration guide' is added to invertory automatically) and then browse the list of books, when you select(hover) any of the above mentioned books, there is no preview on the right side. Also once you select(hover) one of the above books, and try to read any other books/notes afterewards, the game freezes. Here is a screenshot in which you can see what these books look like http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6660/tesv2012011613023650.jpg This happens with every instances of these books in the game world. Also if you put these books in your inventory by looting a dead body, you cannot use quick saves after this. so if you were in a cave and you got one of these books in your inventory, trying to get out will fail (I guess this is because game tries to do an auto-save). I have copy-pasted the Data/Skyrim - Textures.bsa file from a friends installation, which was working. But it did not help. I also tried to unpack the entire textures/clutter/books folder from the bsa file. That did not help either. I have not seen any other artifacts (such as missing textures) or anything yet. And I can read every other books without any issue. I don't want to re-download the entire game once again. So if you can point-out some files, I can download them only or copy-paste those from a friends installation. The only other problem I have with skyrim is that I cannot enter a particular cave. It just freezes when I try to enter it. So is this related to the known problems with large save files? System specs: Intel Core2 Quad Q9550, 4 GB DDR2 800MHZ, GTX 570 1.2GB, 500GB HDD

  Have you tried 1.4 beta patch? Please check if loading an older savefile fixes this. There are several known problems with Skyrim savefiles.
