I installed the latest version of MAME32 and reset all the config's back to default and it works fine now. Thanks for the help.

I get the same error when running every mame rom that I have. I'm using Mame32 and when I run by itself, the roms load fine but under MCE2005, I get a black screen and get taken back to the Gameex screen or the rom test screen gets loaded. I'm uploading my log file for info.
