Thanks for the theme fix. Can you fix the language pick ? Every update the language is set to french and i need to set it to custom.

Thanks Tom & Ben! I can't think of a software package where the updates are more frequent. Always a continuous improvement!

I just booted up GameeEx and it appears that the scroller (and refresh of the selector bars) are too fast. I have a 22" monitor and I am unable read the scroll because of the speed. It may not be as much of an issue for larger television displays but I can see an issue with smaller sets and PC monitors. If there was an external setting through Setup Wizard to select scroll speeds: Slow - Normal - Fast would be extremely helpful.

Will post in the Feature Requests thread as well.

Sounds like you have vsync and reduce CPU utilisation turned off. Turn it on under tweaks/performance. There is really no need for them to be turned off unless your running a pentium 3! On my 2.4ghz core duo quad GameEx runs at 0-1% cpu with them both turned off. However Ill fix the crazy speed increase in the next release.

I had it set to "Do Wait" and changed it to "Do not Wait" and this did slow it down a little but still a bit too fast. I also noticed that it would slow a little more whenever a video preview snap was displayed and speed up when a static snap or no snap displayed.

Sounds like vsync is not working for you then. Probably a video card thing.

Tom - it appears you are correct! I went into the nVidia 3D settings and added GameEx to the applications list and there was a setting for V-Synch so I forced V-Synch On and rebooted GameEx and the scroll bar is much more legible. Thanks for the tip!
