Sorry I am a noob to Game Ex, and I am not the type to rely on everyone for awnsers but I am pretty sure I have every thing configured correctly but for some reason when I start I get an error message saying Attempting to load game list then I get ERRORS FOUND. And I get kicked out if any one out there is willing to help me please hit me back. Thanks for taking the time to help. Here is the full message log if that helps 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: GameEx: Version 3.61: Starting Log 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Operating System Platform ID: Win32NT 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Operating System Version: 5.1 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Running Randomize() 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Running Misc startup tasks 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Hiding Cursor 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Opening Configuration File 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Getting Configuration Values 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Using Theme: Default - Default 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Default 00:54:39.1 4/26/2005: Applying Language/Text 00:54:39.4 4/26/2005: SlikStik support enabled 00:54:39.4 4/26/2005: Launching HideOS.exe 00:54:41.4 4/26/2005: Hiding Taskbar 00:54:41.4 4/26/2005: Getting Original Screen Size 00:54:41.4 4/26/2005: Loading ICON 00:54:41.5 4/26/2005: Initializing Component 00:54:41.6 4/26/2005: Using General Font: Trebuchet MS 00:54:41.6 4/26/2005: Using Title Font: Trebuchet MS 00:54:41.6 4/26/2005: Initialising DirectDraw 00:54:41.6 4/26/2005: Applying GameEx is Loading Image 00:54:41.6 4/26/2005: Creating DirectDraw Device 00:54:41.7 4/26/2005: Setting Resolution to 800x600 32 bit color 00:54:42.4 4/26/2005: Creating DirectDraw Surfaces 00:54:42.4 4/26/2005: Creating Primary Surface - Full Screen Mode 00:54:42.6 4/26/2005: Creating Back Buffer 00:54:42.6 4/26/2005: Loading graphic surfaces 00:54:45.5 4/26/2005: Creating Fonts 00:54:45.5 4/26/2005: Creating Menu Font 00:54:45.7 4/26/2005: Creating Game Font 00:54:45.8 4/26/2005: Creating Menu Font Standard Size 00:54:46.3 4/26/2005: Creating Font Black 00:54:46.4 4/26/2005: Creating Font Black Small 00:54:46.5 4/26/2005: Creating Game Font Faded 00:54:46.6 4/26/2005: Creating Title Font 00:54:46.9 4/26/2005: Initialising Windows Media Player Component 00:54:47.0 4/26/2005: HTML Apps is on, initialising Web Browser Component 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: MAME Path is: D:\Mame32 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: ZiNc Path is: D:\zinc11-win32 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: ZiNc EXE file is: zinc.exe 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: Use ZiNc on. zinc.exe will launch PSX games 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: MAME EXE file is: mame32FXpp.exe 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: ROM Path is: D:\Mame32\roms 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: Catver.ini is located at: D:\GameEx\DATA\catver.ini 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: controls.ini is located at: D:\GameEx\data\controls.ini 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: History.dat is located at: D:\GameEx\DATA\history.dat 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: nplayers.ini is located at: D:\GameEx\DATA\nplayers.ini 00:54:47.3 4/26/2005: MAMEinfo.dat is located at: D:\GameEx\DATA\mameinfo.dat 00:54:47.4 4/26/2005: Loading Controls.ini map file 00:54:47.4 4/26/2005: Loading Custom Emulators 00:54:47.7 4/26/2005: Snap Path is: D:\Mame32\snap 00:54:47.8 4/26/2005: AVI Snap Path: Not Found 00:54:47.8 4/26/2005: Flyer Path is: D:\Mame32\flyers 00:54:47.8 4/26/2005: Cabinet Path is: D:\Mame32\cabinets 00:54:47.8 4/26/2005: Title Path is: D:\Mame32\titles 00:54:47.8 4/26/2005: Panel Path is: D:\Mame32\cpanel 00:54:47.8 4/26/2005: Icon Path is: D:\Mame32\icons 00:54:47.8 4/26/2005: Marquee Path is: D:\Mame32\marquees 00:54:47.8 4/26/2005: Attempting to load game list 00:54:48.6 4/26/2005: ERRORS DETECTED: EXITING thanks again.
