I have the latest driver from the ASUS page. Should I try older ones?

Hi Tom, I tried the MCE and the MCE Glossy Theme. The MCE Theme worked for about 10 seconds and ended in a total crash of my PC. I also got a blue screen that says "TERMINAL_SERVER_DRIVER_MADE_INCORRECT_MEMORY_REFERENCE" but I think gameex shouldn´t have caused this error... I rebooted and started gameex again and I got the following error log: --- 13:38:57.6 06.04.2007: GameEx: Version 7.99: Starting Log 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: Operating System Name: Windows XP 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3800+ 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: 2,4Ghz 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: Running Randomize() 13:38:57.7 06.04.2007: Loading PlugIns 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Running Misc startup tasks 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Setting Menu types 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Opening Configuration File 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Getting Configuration Values 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Using Theme: Default - Media Center 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Media Center 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Launching HideOS.exe 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Hiding Taskbar 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Is Media Center running? 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Media Center Mode 0 13:38:57.8 06.04.2007: Video previews on.

Hi Tom, I tried the MCE and the MCE Glossy Theme. The MCE Theme worked for about 10 seconds and ended in a total crash of my PC.

Hi, I like to use Gameex as a frontend for some emulators. I installed Gameex 7.99 and used the setup wizard. When I start gameex it crashes with the following error: ...... 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: Error in the application. 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface.DrawInternal(tagRECT* destRectangle, Surface sourceSurface, tagRECT* srcRectangle, DrawFlags flags, DrawEffects& bltEffects) 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface.Draw(Rectangle destRectangle, Surface sourceSurface, Rectangle srcRectangle, DrawFlags flags) 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DrawBackground() 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DisplayFrame() 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: Last Exception: 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: Error in the application. 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface.DrawInternal(tagRECT* destRectangle, Surface sourceSurface, tagRECT* srcRectangle, DrawFlags flags, DrawEffects& bltEffects) 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface.Draw(Rectangle destRectangle, Surface sourceSurface, Rectangle srcRectangle, DrawFlags flags) 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DrawBackground() 22:00:56.0 04.04.2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DisplayFrame() I tried some other Skins and it worked a few times very well. But after restarting my PC the error occures again. Sometimes gameex starts with the gameex animation but then it freezes and i have to reset my PC... My system: AMD Athlon64 3200 (?) Venice ASUS Motherboard A8V VM ASUS EAX1300PRO Grafic Card 160gb HD 512mb RAM I thin I will go crazy..... Help PLEASE!!
