I don't see how a corrupted .net install could explain the codec issue. I don't want to try running GameEx again until I know how to prevent it from changing codec settings. Anybody know how I can do that?

Actually, that doesn't seem to be my log at all. Those aren't my directories and it didn't change at all when I just ran GameEx again... Yep. Just deleted the log from C:\GameEx\LOG\ and ran GameEx again, which crashed, but there is no new log file. That was some sample log or something? Anyway, I looked in the watson log on my computer and it's a .net type initialization error. It doesn't say what type, though. But it happens every time I try to start.

Here it is. Looks to me like the last thing it gets to is trying to set up a global keyboard hook. Perhaps there's some problem with how it's handling input. I forgot to mention this before, because I'm super absent minded, but there was also a .net error on the Input configuration panel of the config application. I'm actually a bit reluctant to run it again, though, because I found that the setup app also seemed to mess up my media center codec configuration (I've set up the Shark007 Codec pack for my system) so that when I went to watch an mkv just now, it failed. I rolled back using system restore to before I configured (but after I installed) GameEx, and the codecs are working again. Anyway, here's the log. Let me know what I can do to help debug. 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: GameEx: Version 11.08: Starting Log 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: Operating System Name: Windows 7 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: Operating System Version: 6.1.7600 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: Aero NOT running 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: .net Framework 3.0 Installed 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: .net Framework 3.5 Installed 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: Intel® Xeon® CPU E5320 @ 1.86GHz, 4094MB 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: 1.86Ghz - 4 Cores or CPU's 15:38:38.8 30/07/2010: Running Randomize() 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Loading PlugIns 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Running Misc startup tasks 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Setting Menu types 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Opening Configuration File 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Getting Configuration Values 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Using Theme: Default - Media Center 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Media Center 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Using Images from theme: Default - Media Center V1\MEDIA\ 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance) 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Is Media Center running? 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Media Center Mode 0 15:38:38.9 30/07/2010: Video previews on.

I just installed GameEx, downloaded a bunch of emulators through the setup wizard. I have no roms copied over to the new folders yet. GameEx crashes on startup instantly, without doing anything -- it just shows the Gameex has stopped working dialog box. This is on windows 7. How can I get this fixed?
