  1. It is in most cases, but I still want to know when programs are trying to gain elevation, so the prompts dont bother me during normal use. This was the only method I found to disable the prompts for specific applications ;-)
  2. I tried to find this in the forums here, but to no avail, so after doing some searches online, here is what I have found and tested to prove it works. Basically I was annoyed at the UAC prompt when launching GameEx on my Vista Box, and didn't want to completely disable UAC, plus the prompt is not really remote friendly, and just wanted it to work like XP. Here's the guide: Microsoft has obviously observed the request from users to bypass the User Account Control (UAC) prompts for specific applications. Just a few days ago they posted instructions on how to get around UAC prompts and a per application basis. I decided to give this a whirl, and I can say first hand that it does work. Thereâ??s just one thingâ?¦itâ??s not quite as simple as a few clicks. The first time you go through the instructions it will probably take 3 or 4 minutes, but each program you setup after that will probably take just a minute since youâ??ll understand what needs to be done. Steps are as follows: 1. Download (10.9MB) and install the Application Compatibility Toolkit. 2. In the Start menu find the shortcut Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0\Compatibility Administrator. Right click it and click Run as administrator. 3. In the left hand pane, right-click on the database under Custom Databases and select Create New, and select Application Fix. 4. Enter the name and other details of the application you want to alter behavior on and then browse to it to select it. Click Next. Click Next until you are in the Compatibility Fixes screen. On the Compatibility Fixes screen, find the item RunAsInvoker, and check it. Click Next and then Finish. 5. Select File -> Save As. Save the file as a filename.SDB type file in a directory you will easily find it. Then copy the <filename>.sdb file to the Vista computer you want to alter the elevation prompt behavior on. 6. Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories. Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator. 7. Run the command below: sdbinst <path>\<filename>.sdb For example, if you saved the .SDB file as abc.sdb in the c:\Windows folder, the command should be like this: sdbinst c:\windows\abc.sdb It should prompt: Installation of <name> complete. Thats all there is to it. This should make all you guys running Windows Vista and GameEx just as happy as I was after this fix ;-)
  3. The quotes did it. Thanks a lot guys, I'm a happy gameex'er now lol ;-)
  4. Well, the files are being extracted just fine while project64 is running. Above is a copy of whats in the bat file you requested. If I didn't know better, I'd say it's the way I've named the folders.
  5. Well, all the extracted files are 0kb in size, even the game version I tried to launch from within the 7zip file, and the temp folder thats created is not being deleted as well. I'm trying to launch a game from my N64 goodmerge set v3.11. The problem is that all the files are extracted as 0kb, even the game I'm trying to launch from GameEx. Is there a verbose mode I can put it in to create a log file to show you whats happening durring the process? So heres whats happening: 1. Browse through the game list, and find the game I want. 2. Go into the the goodmerge view that shows all the versions of the game. 3. Select the one I want to run, IE the latest US version. 4. Gameex goes through it's paccess like its extracting the data it needs. 5. Gameex minimizes, launches the emulator to play the game. 6. Emulator (Project64) says: "Attemp to load file failed" and this is because the file was not extracted fully, and the emulator is trying to load a 0kb sized rom file.
  6. Hello, I have a registered version of gameex. I'm running Windows Vista SP1, and when I try to run games from goodmerge sets, they get extracted to the temp folder, but the files that get extracted are 0kb in size, and there for, the emulator fails to load the files. Any help on this would be great, and I am running the latest version of gameex as of this date. Thanks in advance. P.S. The archive files are fine, and I have verified that with extracting them manualy, so I know it's not the archives themselfs.
