Draco1962 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I recommend installing on C:\ instead of Program Files (x86) due to possible access rights issues. I would go ahead and install the Shark007 codec packs for Win 7 (both the 32-bit and 64-bit codec packs in that order).Did you do a fresh download to the latest version of GameEx? If not, please do so and attach fresh copies of your gameex.ini, themeeditor.txt, and log.txt files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u-man Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 hello Draco,yes, i did a fresh download of the latest GameEx (13.09). I have added the gameex.ini, themeeditor.txt, and log.txt files as attachment.I installed the Shark-Codecs... 32bit and 64bit... in that order.I uninstalled GameEx from the (x86) programs folder and installed it on C:/ .... on root so to say, with no success , i am still having the annoying error.Things that changed on new Laptop with new OS:I can go into the HTCP/Multimedia Settings from the Setup-Wizard again, without quitting unexpectly .log.txtThemeEditor.txtGameEx.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hi u-manYour current log doesn't actually show an error. Be that as it may, have you tried making adjustments to language settings (either at the GameEx level or the OS level)? The only reason I ask is that one of our Turkish users was experiencing an inexplicable problem that turned out to be related to the language of his operating system. I wouldn't say that the problem you've reported here is similar in any way to the problem he was experiencing, but after searching for months with no solution, it really seems like this problem is related to something non-intuitive.Good luck man.

u-man Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 hi nullPointer,this error will not show up in any log-file. i can only make a screenshot of it and post it again. the same was true, with the Setup-Wizard HTPC/Multimedia setting error, that now has gone away on the new Laptop. so at least one error is gone .to be true, my girlfriend told me the same as you. that maybe the OS language matters. on my cab-machine everything works fine, but there is XP 32bit ENGLISH installed. on the other hand, everything worked everywhere fine, until the christmas-time 2012.this error is really driving me mad. I still want to go further with my theme, but right now, it is a painfull job. i was so happy with the new Laptop and thought i can do the theme-stuff, if i visit my girlfriend and she need to work, but i cant .If i am at home, i need to swap files all the time and change stuff on a 640x480 interlaced resolution .it would be a relief, if i would know that i am not the only one with this experience. i mean to proof that, i need to find a german OS and GameEx user, who could try the same....

Adultery Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 /me shrugs The thing is moo one can fix it if no one can reproduce it. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headkaze Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I was going to suggest re-installing WMP but I see you've already tried that. What codec pack are you using? I would uninstall all codec packs and install Shark's Codec Pack. It might also be worth trying to install x64 Components also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think he noted the error existing prior to codecs installed as well and after installing the full Shark007 codecs for both 32-bit and 64-bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u-man Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hello guys, again me ,i have some questions, prior installing again .Do you think it is enough to choose English Language on the Windows7 Installation, to have a English Windows7?Is it enough to add English via language installation pack?I would like to test a GameEx version 12.90 or less, does anyone have such a version-installer. I cant download anywhere a older version, that is older than the recent one (13.09). Please help me with this, maybe Tom has a older version as a backup and could send me this one.thank you all guys, for trying to help me out here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Otherwise maybe European windows N version does not install 32 bit media player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u-man Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 sorry to say that, but error is still there .i dont use windows 7 N, i use windows7 64bit ultimate (german). can i use language pack to make it english? does it behave like a english version then?I know it worked in version 12.90, but it could still be some Microsoft Update. If you have some older GameEx 12.90< , so i could try this, that would be very nice . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 German version is windows N. ie without media player. Did you download the media pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u-man Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 I know what Windows N version is, it is because of the EU-laws, but I do not have this version. My Version have mediaplayer pre-installed. If I download the media pack, it says, it is not for this version of windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headkaze Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Good to see this issue resolved. So it looks like the WMP interop dll's were not compiled to x86 format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Good to see this issue resolved. So it looks like the WMP interop dll's were not compiled to x86 format.I think at some point the theme editor was changed to compile to any cpu but WMP was left at x86. I just replaced the controls and that was it. Not sure why it was working for me and others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannadav Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Yeah! I had the same problem! But i've resolved with the ThemeEditor.exe above! Windows 7 64Thanks to all!
