GameEx Crash on Exit

I've been using GameEx on my HTPC machine for a while now, and it works great..

but I started setting up gameEx on my basement machine just to kinda get the feel for it again

for a friend of mine who will be running it for a mame cabinet.

for some odd reason GameEx Crashes EVERY time I exit from the program

This does not matter if I am using the mouse to exit or the ESC key

or if I had ran an emulator yet or not.

I saw in the pinned topic you would prefer to have the configuration set ups

but this doesn't seem to be an emulator issue as they work fine.

I run windows 7 32 bit Ultimate

I have gameEx set up on a different drive from my os G:

and am using all the standard paths that you have pre configured

aside from changing mame32 to mame

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thank you

when it crashes on exit it does not fully return my desktop back to its original environment.

Can you post your complete log following a crash? For some reason it does not look like a complete log.txt output/

that was the complete log, I agree it looked "empty" at the end.

the log appears to change every time I run gameex.

I have made MULTIPLE changes thinking maybe it was something in a setting giving it grief.

I just ran and exited gameex in windows mode (same issue however)

this is the error windows 7 reports

I disabled sound after I saw the crashing along with changing a dozen other settings

however, I re-enabled it to verify your post

It is still crashing.

I am going to do a complete uninstall, then reinstall and attempt again.

after a reinstall in basic mode, setting up nothing but mame,

I installed it to the OS directory

it works flawlessly

for refference however, It appears I was never getting to the "exit" menu.

I would hit the exit button and it would crash immediately from there.

Thank you for your help. Problem Resolved
