Skyrim Crashing to Desktop on Startup

I just had finished installing Skyrim and was excited to play but the game just crashed every time I tried to open it.

Fix crash problems after seeing the Skyrim logo:

1. Go to your control panel

2. Press on sound.

3. Find your speaker and right click it and choose properties.

4. Go to advanced and choose 24bit, 44100 Hz.

5. Press save settings and close.

6. Open Skyrim and Play
