What about my other assumptions? Was I correct with the naming conventions having to match the rom names?

I am setting up Gamex to play Daphne Laserdisc titles, but I can't nail down the play preview videos, show flyers.... feature yet. I downloaded the EmuMovies Laserdisc videos (.avi files - they play no prob in Win Media Player) and set the "Daphe Snap/Video Path" to that folder. I did the same for flyers (except I downloaded them from another source as .jpg files) I assummed that if the file names matched the ROM name that the previews/flyers features would work. Unfortunately, neither do. Are there any other settings I am overlooking? Thanks in advance.

I have a very modern/fast machine and when I first installed Gamex it loaded right up. I just want to use it for Daphne and don't even have any MAME Stuff installed. I noodled with settings and couldn't get Gamex to run again. So I uninstalled and reinstalled (made sure that config folder was cleared before reinstalling). Now all I get is the "Nag" message for a few seconds, a black screen, then the game kicks out. And yes, I tried searching forums/FAQ for info but didn't find anything. (Feel free to point out the obvious to me! Here's the log file - Looks like it starts and kicks out immediately.
