hansolo77 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I tried to load up GameEx today, but it's crashing. I had 13.9 installed, it autoupdated to 13.10.

It says so plain as day. What could have changed? I'm actually going to try and reboot my system to see if it fixes the problem. If it does, I'll change topic to resolved and update. If not, I'll leave it open so Tom can take a look at it. I'll include my settings and what not if rebooting doesn't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRequEnCy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I would try a manual install as sometimes an auto update can cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I dunno, my system was kinda buggy. I was watching TV on my computer (Media Center) before I went to work. I thought I switched it to standby so it wouldn't be running all day. Apparently I forgot, and it was stuck playing the local radar station. I turned on the TV/A-V Receiver and there was sound but no picture. I was able to ALT+CTRL+DEL and close down the Media Center's eshell program to bring my desktop back, but whenever I tried to do anything that used advanced rendering, like watching a VIDEO or playing a MAME rom directly, everything just crashed. I didn't get to reboot because my Media Center is actually recording TV (Just finished NOVA and is now recording the season finale of Duck Dynasty ). Anyway, I did some tweaking in my monitor properties, by changing my desktop resolution down and then up, and then the color to 16-bit and then back up to 32-bit. Now everything seems to be working fine. I still need to reboot, but it might be another hour. I was able to watch a video and I can now load up GameEx. So at least that issue is solved.
