Please post your GameEx log. It may provide a good indication of what is happening here. Ideally you should reproduce the error you’ve described here, and then post your GameEx log here before starting GameEx again.

No need to apologize about language barrier, we’re a pretty diverse crowd around here. I always have a lot of admiration and respect for the multi-lingual folks we have in the community. :D

Thanks, and Welcome to the Forums!

Confirmed, the problem is gone.

The solution:

1) Unshell the S.O.

2) Uninstall D-Tool and restart

3) Install last version of D-Tool Lite and restart

4) shell the system and restart

and problem is gone!

Thanks!

Bye

PD: Please mark as resolved
