My gfx card is an ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500. I updated the gfx card drivers and got the new update of GameEx. I am using XP SP2 because my computer will not update to SP3 for an unknown reason. I still get an error when accessing YouTube. For what it's worth I can't get the weather feature to work either. 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: GameEx: Version 11.36: Starting Log 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: Operating System Name: Windows XP 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: .net Framework 3.0 Installed 18:41:19.1 11/11/2010: .net Framework 3.5 Installed 18:41:19.2 11/11/2010: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.20GHz, 1023MB 18:41:19.2 11/11/2010: 3.19Ghz - 2 Cores or CPU's 18:41:19.2 11/11/2010: Running Randomize() 18:41:19.2 11/11/2010: Loading PlugIns 18:41:19.3 11/11/2010: Loaded Plugin:"LCD/LED Plugin" Version 2.87 By Ben Baker 18:41:30.8 11/11/2010: PlugIn: "LCD/LED Plugin" Initialized OK 18:41:30.8 11/11/2010: Using Plugin System Version: 1.3 18:41:30.8 11/11/2010: Loaded Plugin:"UltraStik" Version 1.21 By Ben Baker 18:41:31.2 11/11/2010: PlugIn: "UltraStik" Initialized OK 18:41:31.2 11/11/2010: Using Plugin System Version: 1.3 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Loaded Plugin:"Random Arcade Sound" Version 1.11 By Tom Speirs 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: PlugIn: "Random Arcade Sound" Initialized OK 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Using Plugin System Version: 1.4 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Running Misc startup tasks 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Setting Menu types 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Opening Configuration File 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Getting Configuration Values 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Using Theme: Default - Default 18:41:31.3 11/11/2010: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Default 18:41:31.4 11/11/2010: Launching HideOS.exe 18:41:31.4 11/11/2010: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 18:41:31.4 11/11/2010: CPWizard enabled 18:41:31.4 11/11/2010: CPWizard path invalid.

AH HA! I should have known it would be something simple. Thanks!

I used the new EmuMovie utility to download video snaps. I downloaded both the AVI and FLV type of files and had the same problem with both. When the videos are displayed in GameEx the only thing appearing is a black box with a colored border. The border color will change every few seconds but I never see any actual video. Could someone please advise me on what I may have done wrong? Thanks in advance.

Nice. Thanks for the reply.

I have a U360 joy stick in my CP. So... All I have to do is turn on the U360 plugin and it will take care of switching between the different controler configurations? Do I have to do anything else?
