date and time are correct. I had ran as administrator many times prior, but not it does seem to be updating files now. this is a windows 7 machine, i had tried to copy my old folder over but ran in to problems and reinstalled gameex. i think it is working, just taking a while to update.
Mame games will not show up under mame on startup screen, as well once they were found in emulated games they do not launch. I have tried to copy my old gameex config settings and the files are in the same exact locations as before. I have paid for gameex and have applied the registry file supplied - fyi GameEx.ini
