Thanks for you reply I will copy the .ini file and re-install. also If I register my copy of gameEX and wanna update my computer can I use it on the new computer? Also the computer does'nt have internet access so is it just a matter of a reg key? thanks

Hi all.....wanna 1st say what a great porgy gameEx is...anyway im using the lastest version and I had vidoes enabled but was having issues with the screensaver when it went to vidoes clips it would just to a black screen so I turned off the video mode in the screen saver section(in advanced stup). now I have no video option in the multimedia section. Ive been through the advanced setup and made sure everything is enabled but still no good! I dont wanna re-install if I can help it as ive been through 7000 roms removing the crap, so any help would be great Thanks for your time, Danloads
