Hi, Please replace GameEx.exe with the one in the attached zip and post the log. Can you also have a think about what might have changed on your system? Such as new software, drivers, patches, upgrades? I think I know where its failing and others have had similar problems with the type of code GameEx is running at that stage. I still dont know what causes it, and the only way this has ever been fixed is to do a compolete reinstall of the OS Please post the log of this version anyway. It might be something else. Thanks.
