hi ------------------------------------------------ MY SYSTEM athlon 2800xp - 512 ddr 3200 memory - sparkle nvidia geforce 4 ti4600 128mb ------------------------------------------------ im new to the forum and have waited out a little before posting so i could get a good idea of how gameEX runs and it's usability. im really impressed with gameEX and i think it is the gui i have always wanted for my emulation/multimedia purposes in front of the tv i just want to say a big thankyou to tom for his great work that puts commercial products to shame. my issue with gameEX is one that is well known and i have followed the guide lines in fixing this problem , the problem being some nvidia drivers that cause extreme slowdown within gameEX. i have tryed much newer drivers and the problem is still apparent and was wondering if there will be a fix for this anytime soon <?> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I have a good system, but GameEx runs terribly slow or freezes up (I have an NVidia video card)? A: NVidia unified drivers newer than 66.93 and older than 81.85 seem to have serious bugs with DirectX 2D support. Get the latest NVidia drivers or alternatively you can get 66.93 drivers here. 66.93 was released November 2004. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ i know that i could use the old nvidia drivers to fix the problem but i dont want to for many obvious reasons that i wont go into so for the time being i wont be able to use gameEX becase of this and i do hope the issue gets fixed. thanks for your time and to tom for giving us the great GameEX romstar
