When I First started gameex there was a screensaver that would start after a couple minutes or so but now i get this unhandled exception thing that pops up which closes gameex immediately and a log afterwards. if i turn it off it just plays the music and stays at the part i left it at. i really liked that attract thing and would really appreciate it if i could get some assistance. Heres the log thing. my guess is the problem starts where it says starting attract mode 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: Opening Configuration File 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: GameEx: Version 12.70: Starting Log 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: Operating System Name: Windows XP 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz, 3317MB 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: 2.59Ghz - 2 Cores or CPU's 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: Running Randomize() 22:46:01.0 7/9/2012: Loading PlugIns 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Running Misc startup tasks 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Setting Menu types 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Getting Configuration Values 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Using Theme: Default - Media Center 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Media Center 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Using Images from theme: Default - Media Center V1\MEDIA\ 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Launching HideOS.exe 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance) 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Hiding Taskbar 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Is Media Center running? 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Media Center Mode 2 22:46:01.1 7/9/2012: Video previews on.
