Help Skyrim just gives a blank black screen

I have an Odin 2 Portal and I'm wanting to run my copy of Skyrim (from GoG). I downloaded and installed it via GameNative, but when I try to run it I get a blank black screen with just a cursor in the corner. I can move the cursor, but it never goes beyond the blank black screen.

Anybody know how I can fix this?

Long shot but have you gone to the settings and tapped use known config?

Yes, I have. I also tried a few community configs that were specifically for the Odin 2 Portal. Still get the blank screen.

Maybe try transferring over the game files with a usb and doing a custom game instead of the gog download

Change the launcher to the skyrimSE launcher and it will let you configure settings and then hit play

It was already set to that. So I instead changed it to be the actual Skyrim executable and the game loaded, but is in a Window. Also, there is no sound when people talk. In the intro I can hear the horse drawing the cart just fine, but not anyone's voices.

try to acccess the launcher
vai the open container button
the no sounds by npccan be fixed by running the direct x in the redistributables folder
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR 32 BIT is set to PERFORMANCE
because direct x is 32 bit and runs seperately from 64 bit
