Hey guys! So I recently bought Skyrim via PC download which means I have to access the game through Steam. Anyway, my game is apparently trying to update but is stuck saying "Update Paused". Every time I try to make it continue or try to play the game it updates to 100% but then continues to say update paused. I am not a technology person by far and am not really a gamer either (I just love Skyrim) but I have searched and google this and have tried various things to fix it, none of which have worked. I have deleted all files except steam.exe and steamapps before opening steam again. That didn't work. I verified the game cache which told me "2 files failed to validate and will be acquired" but otherwise, did nothing. I don't know how to fix that either or really know what that means. I also uninstalled and reinstalled steam. I even uninstalled and reinstalled skyrim. I'm still getting the same update message. Anyone know how to fix this? I'd really like to play my game again. If you do have a suggestion please be very clear on it. Like I said, I am not technologically savvy, but I am really good at following directions if they're clear. Thanks
