I have to esc to exit the error screen or close out of GameEx entirely. I actually tried what you just suggested when I got home this evening and still end up with the same error messages. There is more to what is occurring than being just a web link and it may be limited to my system in general or it may be the way that GameEx is trying to parse out the XML response - not sure it isn't a GameEx issue, at least for my setup.

Because of the error I am not able to change anything

All I can say is I miss Maxtor. They were reasonably priced and I have had only one failure that to this day I do not believe that it was the product but something the person did causing a hard crash (PC was jarred hard or knocked over during a write operation - they deny it but the scuffs on the case that I was familiar with having done previous servicing/upgrades told me otherwise). I still have the last 5 I purchased running my 2k3 server.

Seagate used to be the drives to go to and a retail industry standard. I used them almost exclusively late 80s to early 90s and then switched to Maxtor (which was later bought out by Seagate and killed - the bastards!). I have heard almost as bad things about WD and, to be honest, I am not pleased with the 1.5TB green that I bought from them.

I think the intent was for those using GameEx as a standalone HTPC alternative for those systems that do not haveWindows Media Center or other HTPC softwares installed. @Alpha - you should be able to locate it within Setup Wizard to enable and you will need to add it in your Custom Menus if you have those in use, otherwise, it is there in the standard view under Other Programs (or something like that).

LOL! You aren't the only one active in the forum that could test this... *hint* *hint*

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

heh-heh!

Um, you have your own site.... ah.. yeah.... did you ge the memo about the TPS reports?

What do you get someone's birthday that provides a service that gives so much back to the retro gaming community? I am not sure, but I hope you have a great day, Circo! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

The Weather Icon is fine, just the internal Weather app is acting up. @All - please test the internal Weather application to see if you encounter the same or similar error response. Thanks!

You continue to amaze and bedazzle me, Adultery! Good show!

When accessing weather I receive the following error page and the local weather nor weather options display.

Other languages are allowed but it is requested that a translation be posted in the thread as well. We have some really good people from different countries and I am always glad to see "new faces" regardless of their country of origin!

Glad to hear it! Enjoy your day with the family - time well spent! I am looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labor!

Happy Birthday, nullPointer! I hope you treat yourself to a good day.. maybe some fishing in one of those wonderful cool mountain streams.

Looking great, V! I think that you will have a successful HTPC theme that captures the Windows Metro feel!

Chazz, this is really coming along nicely! I noticed in the images you have shown so far that you have the menu bar at the very top (which is nothing bad as it makes good use of the space). How are you handling the placement of the media button bar and fullscreen/windowed toggle button?

I edited your post to insert the Spoiler codes to shorten the post up a little bit. I am not familiar with Nestopia but it sounds like something has changed along the way. Was the log.txt file created immediately following your attempt to access a game in Nestopia?

Seems we have been getting an increase in these types of errors, especially with XP machines that havent been updated in the last 6+ months or so.

Go here to locate the GameEx logos.

Glad ya like the image! Don't forget me in your credits! LOL! In Theme Editor, do you have Image2 enabled and coordinates within the image size?

I am not quite following what is happening. Can you provide us with copies of your gameex.ini and a log.txt file immediately following your attempt to play a video in GameEx? Also, might be good to know what you are using for your default video player. Thanks!

My guess is that it is saving something in the c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\ areas and possibly a few others. Not sure how you could keep those files from being deleted yet be rewritten s the program requires.

Not sure - it's in the READ THIS.txt file included in the zip.
