Hello, I recently upgraded my arcade cabinet with a now extra copy of Vista-x64. Everything is working great, however I am unable to exit attract mode via an "Any" key-press: ESC will exit (Exit Combo does not exit)Mouse clicks will exitGame-pad will exitI have GameEx set to play only videos during attract mode right now to rule out emulators. Additionally, I made a test install on a Win7 64bit machine (which works as expected) then copied it over to the Vista machine (then does not work as expected). The Vista machine simply seems to ignore key-strokes. Has anyone ran across this before? Please see attached logs/configs. The exit on keystroke is me pressing the ESC key, it will not recognize any other key. log.txt GameEx.ini Best Regards, -John [solution:1.10.13] Root Cause: COMODO Internet Security 2013 Back Story: After deciding to upgrade to Win8 and move a copy of Win7x64bit to the Arcade, the problem reappeared. I did not notice this on my earlier tests as the Win7 computer had "COMODO Internet Security 2012" and '12 does not seem to cause this issue. (I do recall 2013 working with WinXP though) -John

This is a problem I've had for a couple of months now, and I've been unable to fix on my own. I have many retro computer commercials that I used to be able to play between emulated games in attract mode. I am using a cabinet dedicated to GameEx, running Windows XP, installed only Shark007 (the vista codec pack) without any pre-existing codec packs. I have set the codec pack to "use FFDShow" in the first tab. The problem: after playing the first video it shows a blank screen or the last frame of the video, while running the emulator in the background, which can be heard but not seen. The majority of the videos are FLV or MP4 and have been taken directly from YouTube. Works fine: Video thumbnails in gamelists, Multimedia section videos. This only affects attract mode. Strange: HideOS always loads and the desktop is always hidden, despite in Display settings, "Hide Desktop = No", and every emulator has "Show Desktop = Yes". The MAME section doesn't seem to have a setting for this. Ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon to all! I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, and if so, how to fix this. *When I leave GameEx on overnight, and its on the screensaver/attract mode, when I return in the morning the screen will be blank, but the music from my media will continue to play. When I press a button to try to wake it up, it exits GameEx and leaves me with an error. I checked my computer's settings to make sure that the power save is off. Attached is the log file. Thanks in advance!! LC log.txt GameEx.ini
