Hello,

I am trying to run GameEx on my cpu, but everytime I do I get the donation info, but after that GameEx just exits. I get the following message:

...

14:32:29.9 5/9/2006: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DisplayFrame()

I already tried re-installing direct x and the .net framework.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thank you

Hey Tom,

it works! Guess the crappy onboard video was the problem...

Thank you very very much!

Thanks for trying to help out. My responses to all the replies so far:

I found similar situations and have already tried 16 bit graphics and turned of advanced graphics

Bezelversion is 2 - I've tried don't use bezels

Yes, my mame works great outside of GameEx

Mame version is Mame32

DirectX version is 9.0

I've tried many configurations, reinstalled and tried to start from scratch a few times. Strange how the program will start sometimes and sometimes won't start and gives me the error log. On time the error log was a bit different - I'll post it below. I'm going to do a search on this error 5...
