windows xp to windows 7 64 theme problem

[peterson65]

I had windows xp for years on my mame cabinet. Updated to win 7 64 and backup up the game ex files reinstalled gameex on the new installed win 7 and every thing seemed to work. Favorites and emulator settings ect but the themes are messed up. Default ones are ok but downloaded ones after I download and extract to c:gameex/themes the name shows up in setup wizard but when I select the theme it's blank no screen shot and when I run gameex it will just run a default theme. When I download a theme within setup wizard after it downloads it wants to install in program files x86 gameex/themes but never finishes? I don't want to loose my favorites or other settings any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like an access rights issue. I recommend reinstalling GameEx to c:\gameex instead of c:\program files (x86) as that path tends to be protected.

tried that, even ran revo uninstaller cleaned all registry of gameex and all folders deleted. reinstalled and it installs to root of c: gameex but I run the wizard and get to download themes tried bubble bobble tron ect bubble bobble installs then tron asks for directory to install and it goes to correct c:/gameex/themes but that just sits and looks lik it never completes cant go forward only click stop. if I look in the themes folder the bubble bobble is there and so is tron but within the setupwizard I can select bubble bobble fron the pull down menu but nothing shows in preview under it? driving me nuts

just downloaded gameex 14 install file on another computer win windows 7 64 and same problem only tried bubble bobble theme and same blank screen in setup wizard . theme is there but gameex doesn't see it? is some messed up with 14? I haven't had to reinstall in years from scratch, only update? I don't have another win 7 64 machine to try on

so i installed on a windows 7 32 machine at my work and same issues? clicked on tron to download and it downloads and a popup opens to install, i click install and it sits forever

Can't hurt trying this, right click your GameEx shortcut and run as administrator, and try again.

If that doesn't get it, have you tried manually installing one? I'm running this one.
