GameEx Crashes whenever I leave it running for more than 30 minutes.


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I recently got the registered version of GameEx, and have MAME, NES, SNES, GENESIS and N64 running well on it. However, Whenever I leave it on, whether it's playing music or leaving it on the UI screen, I get a window saying an exception has occured, but I can continue to use the program. I click continue. The screen goes dark. Then about10 seconds later I get the GameEx error screen. This is what it displays:

Any help much appreciated! Oh, and I should mention that all my media is run off of an external hard drive dock through USB 2.0.

Thanks!

Update your gfx drivers and direct x as the errors appears to be direct x related.

This appears to be occuring when entering the screensaver. Probably when trying to play a video. If you cant resolve the issue by other means you can simply disable the screensaver. Its the first item in the dropdown for the timer.
