One thing I just discovered, if this means anything: GameEx works perfectly the first time after rebooting the system. It's only after starting GameEx again without rebooting that I have the problem. I turned off Alpha Blending and set the menus for 2d, and the problem still exists. Is it possible to reinstall a previous version of GameEx on top of the current one to try to go back to the way it was? Thanks for the input.

I have recently come into a problem with menus in GameEx. It started when the menus went into the "shadowing" effect. I don't know if that is a coincidence or not. Anyhow, two of my menu options are external apps, Google Chrome and WinTV. They both worked great going out of GameEx and going back in. But ever since the new, more active menus, whenever I try to go to either app, GameEx hangs as if it is in the middle of going to the app. The only thing I can do is escape GameEx with the ESC button. Again, I didn't have any problems until the recent menus with motion were put into effect. If anyone has any suggestions or work arounds, it would be greatly appreciated.

To quote Arthur Fonzerelli, "I was w-w-w-w-..... not right." I did not have the latest version of Flash installed, as I discovered when I went to try You Tube in IE (I usually use a Foxfire derivative, CometBird). It informed me that I needed the latest version of Flash. Once installed, I tried it in IE, and it worked. Seeing that, I tried Youtube in GameEx, and it worked. Thanks.

I have the same white screen problem with You Tube videos. I believe I have the latest version of Flash installed, along with the latest version of GameEx. I can do a search on You Tube videos and get legitimate results, but when I go to play any listed video, I get the white screen. If you need any info on my system, let me know.

Well, I thought I had it solved, but didn't, now again I think I do. After reading around on some other posts on similar topics, I uninstalled all my other codec packs and installed the Vista codec pack. So far, so good.

I had completely forgotten that I had "messed" with the groups function. Once I eliminated the group, my problems went away. I now understand what emulator groups are for better. Thanks for all the help.

I have each Emulator in a separate folder, with roms for that particular emulator in a separate folder within the emulator folder. The problem does not occur within MAME, just the 3 emulators. I do have a custom menu with the first item being a menu named Games, with listings for the 3 emulators, see below. # This File allows you to cusomize the menu system in GameEx # Registered Version Feature. [General] Enabled=True # The following sections allow you to choose which items to show and where. # Each of the following sections is a menu (list in GameEx). [Root] is shown first when starting GameEx # Sub Menus are in Sections [MENU_[0-100][ eg. [MENU_2] # Create new sections if required. # The First item in a section should be Title to specify the title text to be shown # Menu items are shown in the order of the number suffixing item.. # Each item should start with item_[0-300]= # Then item type then the text to show and then item parameter. # e.g item_1=0,MAME,0 # Optional Parameter 2 = Image in themes logo folder without path and extenstion # e.g Item=-1,Custom Menu,1,MAMEALL # The Item Types are as follows # -1= Submenu group. Goto other menu. Parameter = Menu number e.g Item=-1,Sub Menu 1,4 goes to [MENU_4]. # - Will be listed in GameEx as "Sub Menu 1" # 0=MAME # 1=Emulator. Parameter = Emulator Nunber # 2=Application. Parameter = Application Number # 3=Web Application. Parameter = Web Application Number # 4=Theme Picker # 5=Start Screensaver # 6=Configuration Application # 7=Statistics # 8=Export To Mce # 9=Most Played # 10=Last Played # 11=Random Game # 12=Favorites # 13=All Games list # 14=News # 15=Search # 16=Exit # 17=Log Off # 18=Shut Down # 19=Hibernate # 20=Standby # 21=Restart # 22=Videos # 23=Play DVD # 24=Jukebox # 25=DVDs on Disk # 26=Radio # 27=Media Library # 28=eBooks # 29=Karaoke # 30=Pictures # 31=Daphne # 32=Emulator Group.

I appreciate any help

My lists in my emulators include all of my ROMS, not just the ones for that particular emulator. Is there any way to delete the old list and have GameEx set up a fresh one? Thanks.

OK, this s been resolved, but now have a different one I will be posting on.

I recently had to reinstall GameEx after crashing my hard drive and have come across an unusual problem. When I go to play a video under the Multimedia selection, it will play fine in the background. But once I select "Play video", it will play for a second, then stop. The video p[lays fine through other programs such as WMP or VLC. I didn't have this problem before. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
