Hey Guys, I have alot of roms on my gameex and i was wondering, is there any way i can select the games by letters instead of going through the entire list? Also, is there anyway I can delete the games from the gameex list? Please help. Thanks

Tom, I'll try the GameEx configuration

Clearing out the drivers didn't work man...now my computer keeps on rebooting. It seems as though it likes the NVidia in there and not the ArcadeVGA. Once I put the Nvidia back in there...my computer boots up fine. Its weird, when I run GameEx on the PCI NVidia card, my GameEx works fine on the computer monitor. But once I hook the ArcadeVGA up, thats when I encounter my problems.

I am running Windows XP SP2, Athlon 2000, 1G Ram, ArcadeVGA Card, Mame, GameEx Front End, DirectX 9.0, 2.0 .net Framework..and when loading gameEx I have changed themes to see if this would work, I've tried different installs of DirectX with no help... Side note, I have a NVidia PCI card in my machine that loads up GameEx with easy, but once I run my ArcadeVGA card, the GameEX spits out this error: 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: GameEx: Version 9.13: Starting Log 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: Operating System Name: Windows XP 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: AMD Athlon XP, 1023MB 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: 1.25Ghz 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: Running Randomize() 13:05:41.8 2/29/2008: Loading PlugIns 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Running Misc startup tasks 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Setting Menu types 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Opening Configuration File 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Getting Configuration Values 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Using Theme: Default - Default 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Default 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Launching HideOS.exe 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Arcade Mode is on 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Hiding Taskbar 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Using Cabinet Friendly Control System 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Is Media Center running? 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Media Center Mode 2 13:05:41.9 2/29/2008: Video previews on.
