Does anyone have any ideas for me to try ??? I really want to get this working............

I uninstalled .net 3, restarted my pc, reinstalled .net 2 , restarted pc and then tried again - still get the same result :-( will not run

I am running Windows XP Pro - full install and have .net 3.0 installed

Hi, I just installed GameEX and it will not run, crashes as soon as it opens and displays the XP/Microsoft error box "GameEX has encountered a problem and needs to close". I have ran the setup wizard numerous times, changing settings one at a time and trying to run GameEX after each change but no matter what I do, it still will crash as soon as I open it, nothing seems to help. I have MAME, MAME32, and AdvanceMAME installed and each of those will run fine independently. I have also made sure my video card and display drivers are up to date. DirectX and direct 3d (d3d) are up to date and work fine with the DirectX Diagnostic tool. I also have the latest dotnet (dotnet 3) installed. Here is a copy of my log file: 13:33:42.3 11/24/2007: GameEx: Version 8.96: Starting Log 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: Operating System Name: Windows XP 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 511MB 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: 2.08Ghz 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: Running Randomize() 13:33:42.5 11/24/2007: Loading PlugIns 13:33:42.6 11/24/2007: Loaded Plugin:"Dig Dug" Version 1.0 By Tom Speirs 13:33:43.1 11/24/2007: PlugIn: "Dig Dug" Initialized OK 13:33:43.4 11/24/2007: Loaded Plugin:"Speak Game Name" Version 1.4 By Tom Speirs 13:33:43.4 11/24/2007: PlugIn: "Speak Game Name" Initialized OK 13:33:43.5 11/24/2007: Loaded Plugin:"Random Arcade Sound" Version 1.1 By Tom Speirs 13:33:43.5 11/24/2007: PlugIn: "Random Arcade Sound" Initialized OK 13:33:43.5 11/24/2007: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 13:33:43.5 11/24/2007: Running Misc startup tasks 13:33:43.5 11/24/2007: Setting Menu types 13:33:43.5 11/24/2007: Opening Configuration File 13:33:43.5 11/24/2007: Getting Configuration Values 13:33:43.6 11/24/2007: Using Theme: Default - Custom V2 Default 1024x768 13:33:43.6 11/24/2007: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Custom V2 Default 1024x768 13:33:43.6 11/24/2007: Launching HideOS.exe 13:33:43.6 11/24/2007: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 13:33:44.0 11/24/2007: Hiding Taskbar 13:33:44.0 11/24/2007: Is Media Center running? 13:33:44.0 11/24/2007: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 13:33:44.1 11/24/2007: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 13:33:44.1 11/24/2007: Media Center Mode 2 13:33:44.1 11/24/2007: Video previews on.
