Question / Help Battling the black screen.

[Zarok Aleon]

So I have seen that black screens are a big deal for many people, the laptop is not relevant as I am running a desktop. The issue seems to come from Skyrim. Other games that minimize or something are fine such as Runescape or age of empires. They even work in full screen, however my problem seems to only come from Skyrim. I am wondering if it is a source issue, because i start my twitch stream (start streaming) then go into the game. I then go check my twitch stream on my laptop and it is black screen with sound only, I am wondering if this is possible an issue with he source, as I run Skyrim through SKSE or NMM. But not through the normal application. I want to try playing the game in windowed mode but I am not sure you can with Skyrim. I think I had it working for a bit but something changed with where the source was looking and now it is still giving me the black screen in previews and stream, and on my channel.

I have:
4770ki7
8GB RAM
GTX 770 4GB

Thank you guys so much for helping me out, I am quite out of my depth.

There are several Skyrim mods that can block game capture for working, so it's certainly possible that your non-standard Skyrim setup is causing the problem.
