I know you are having problems with some of the modding tools and your version of windows. Would you please PM me with a list of what files do not work and what version of windows your using. Let's solve this problem so you can mod things from time to time as your heart desires.
I agree with bare_elf. I've been able to get all the tools working on all versions of Windows except for Win 8.1, which I haven't tried yet. Bare_elf had a little difficulty when she first upgraded to Win 7 but managed to overcome them and there are some nice new programs like XNViewMP for editing dds files, etc, which are now very easy and convenient to use.
