Hello, I have the retail version of Morrowind GOTY. I also have MGE XE installed which comes with MWSE built in. Now I want to be able to get the Steam Overlay and MWSE in my Morrowind game. When I added Morrowind.exe as a non-steam game I can get the Steam Overlay and MGE works for me (For many it doesnt seem to). But When I launch the Morrowind.exe MWSE doesnt work but if I launch Morrowind Launcher.exe and launch the game through there MWSE does work. I also tried adding Morrowind Launcher.exe as a non-steam game but I get no steam overlay but MWSE works. Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?

Solution: I have found a solution. I had the Morrowind Launcher.exe sat to run as an administrator. I needed to set Morrowind.exe to run as an administrator. I didn't need MGEGui to run as a admin but this allowed me to use MWSE and MGE in steam with my retail version of Morrowind!

PS: For some reason the first time I launched the game it crashed but the second time it didnt and when I loaded a save it showed a block screen and my map was blank but when I relaunched the game and reloaded the save it all worked!
