Every time I start GameEx I am given the opportunity to upgrade which I do but I never get upgraded. I tried a manual upgrade but still not upgraded. 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: GameEx: Version 9.27: Starting Log 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Operating System Name: Windows Vista 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Operating System Version: 6.0.6001 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Vista Aero running 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Initializing Vista volume control 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz, 2045MB 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: 2.19Ghz - 2 Cores or CPU's 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Running Randomize() 17:30:01.5 5/15/2008: Loading PlugIns 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Running Misc startup tasks 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Setting Menu types 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Opening Configuration File 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Getting Configuration Values 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Using Theme: Default - RedEx - MCE1024x768 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - RedEx - MCE1024x768 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Launching HideOS.exe 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Hiding Taskbar 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Is Media Center running? 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 17:30:01.6 5/15/2008: Media Center Mode 2 17:30:01.7 5/15/2008: Video previews on.

Thanks, that is a pretty nice program.

My arcade stick is a modded XBox 360 USB controller and uses the D-Pad which is HAT not vector. Is there any way to use the HAT joystick to maneuver the menus in the GUI? I hope I explained this well enough for everyone to understand.

I am not on a wireless connection. I really did not think it was on my end since I had a friend try lastnight and he had the same problem. I will mess around some more when I get home tonight.

I have been getting errors during the install process. While diffrent packages are being downloaded I am getting URL time out errors. Is anyone else having problems downloading themes or addons? Thanks, Mark
