You were just as unable to provide any sort of useful info or help regarding my problem as pretty much anyone else except for Boris, your high and mighty, all-knowing attitude is really unwarranted.

At the very least you should have deducted that the issue was infact NOT drivers related.
I'll let that sink in for you for a second.

And now I want the next improvements to bring my own system right down on its knees

Also, when swapping dlls, take the habit, if not already, to ALWAYS make a fresh rendering device recognition :

Swap the ENB dll, do it as clean as possible : delete previous and uncompress the new one directly to your Skyrim main folder
Backup your game inis from MyDocuments/MyGames/Skyrim right to your desktop, delete rendererinfo.txt
Launch Skyrim via its launcher, NOT via SKSE if using it
Let the launcher recognize your rendering device again, then close it.
Put back your game inis in your folder
Launch the game as usual.

I always considered this process as required to ensure stability, and this is also adviced by Boris in installation instructions.
If you do it already, sorry for the pointless babbling.
