Ok, so here's my problem. Had older version of gameex installed (don't remember version, installed about two years ago) and it worked flawlessy. Replaced the hd where gameex and mame were installed (D:, system on C:) and installed gameex 12.0 (first 11.99 - same problem) and mame 0.143b on the new drive (D:). Now gameex freezes at the nag screen (have tried waiting a long time), sometimes I can ctrl-alt-delete and terminate the 7zip extraction and make gameex load up, but then it freezes when it tries to load the listinfo.dat (stuck at 25%). I have .net 2.0 and directx 9c installed on XP sp3. Any suggestions? Thanks! log.txt
