[skitzes]

Not sure why your getting the error, but what your seeing is the nag screen, you have to wait several seconds without pressing anything then GameEx will start.

[Ricci]

What are your specs you are running this on?? (memory/video card/OS)

[skitzes]

tom- you're not only a scholar, you're a gentleman too!

doh! i just have no patience- the gameex works bee-yootiful- donation coming!

thanks for everything tom! =)

[Ricci]

Good man! There is NOTHING on this planet, that is so complete, yet is consistently updated for the better, which you can get your answer from the developer for such a great deal!!! More support means more for all of us!!! Keep this baby alive!!
