Yous you're absolutely right, upgrading MAME worked a treat thanks.

Hi there, I'm afraid I havent managed to get even one game working on MAME, WinUAE or WinKwaks. These emulators all work by themselves for me & I am prettu sure I have my paths set right. I must be missing something so blindingly obvious! 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: GameEx: Version 10.73: Starting Log 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Operating System Name: Windows XP 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: AMD Athlon XP 3000+, 511MB 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: 2.17Ghz 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Running Randomize() 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Loading PlugIns 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Running Misc startup tasks 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Setting Menu types 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Opening Configuration File 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Getting Configuration Values 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Using Theme: Default - ArcadeVGA Lo-Res 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - ArcadeVGA Lo-Res 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Using Images from theme: Default - Media Center V1\MEDIA\ 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Launching HideOS.exe 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance) 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Hiding Taskbar 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Is Media Center running? 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 13:13:47.5 6/16/2010: Media Center Mode 2 13:13:47.6 6/16/2010: Video previews on.
