I'm thinking you guessed my problem. I re-installed the OS using a 10-1 DVD, as I didn't get a OS install disc for my dell. I will have to track down an OEM disc and reinstall to see if that corrects my issue. Thanks, Brute44

Hi Guys! New to the forum. I've done a quick search and didn't see anyone else with the same problem. I tried the last version of GameEx last week and wasn't getting this error. I'm now trying the newest release. I've verified my .net2.0 install. It all checks out there. Just curious what the issue could be. The log file isn't giving me much of a clue. 01:06:38.1 8/27/2008: GameEx: Version 9.51: Starting Log 01:06:38.3 8/27/2008: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 01:06:38.3 8/27/2008: Operating System Name: Windows XP 01:06:38.3 8/27/2008: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 01:06:38.6 8/27/2008: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 01:06:38.6 8/27/2008: .net Framework 1.0 Installed 01:06:38.6 8/27/2008: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 01:06:38.6 8/27/2008: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 01:06:38.6 8/27/2008: Intel® Pentium® M processor 1.50GHz, 511MB 01:06:38.7 8/27/2008: 1.5Ghz 01:06:39.1 8/27/2008: Running Randomize() 01:06:39.2 8/27/2008: Loading PlugIns 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Running Misc startup tasks 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Setting Menu types 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Opening Configuration File 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Getting Configuration Values 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Using Theme: Default - Default 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Default 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Launching HideOS.exe 01:06:39.4 8/27/2008: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 01:06:39.9 8/27/2008: Hiding Taskbar 01:06:39.9 8/27/2008: Is Media Center running? 01:06:39.9 8/27/2008: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 01:06:39.9 8/27/2008: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 01:06:39.9 8/27/2008: Media Center Mode 2 01:06:40.0 8/27/2008: Video previews on.
