[RESOLVED] Error When Launching Half-Life 2 from GameEx

I have an emulator group called "Modern PC Games" that I would like to use to launch links to PC games on my machine. I only have a couple of links in there right now: Spelunky and Half-Life 2.

GameEx launches Spelunky perfectly, but when GameEx launches Half-Life 2, I get a "Failed to Create D3D Device" error. I am able to launch Half-Life 2 directly (outside GameEx) without error.

The log file (attached) leads me to believe that the problem may be related to problem initializing my game pad. Here are a few lines from the log file:

15:43:12.5 11/12/2012: Initialising DirectInput for Gamepad support

15:43:12.8 11/12/2012: Unable to create a joystick device

15:43:12.8 11/12/2012: Resuming Last Status

Any ideas?

Never mind. I figured it out. The error was caused by a disconnected gamepad. Connecting the gamepad before launching half-life 2 from GameEx resolved the issue.
