I get an error when I first bootup my arcade machine with GameEx in the startup directory. Occassionally it won't mess up on the boot. But almost always it gives me the error below. After I close the error screen I can start GameEx and it works fine, so it only happens when I first try to boot.

I get something similar to this every time I upgrade to the next version. Then I just start it again and it works fine.

My problem is it happens every time I boot up my PC/Arcade cabinet not just once, and not only after I upgrade

Any networked drive paths mapped & being used? Check the folders that the config is pointing to for any emulated games as well as mame.

I get this too if I haven't fired up my host PC with the roms on it.

If mame isn't workin try a re-install.

"15:40:34.6 3/18/2006: Panel Path: Not Found" is in your 1st post.
