Hi there!

I decided to upgrade my arcade's video card. Replaced an old nvidia for an ATI card.

22:10:39.9  06/05/2016:      3. If you do not have a modern video card try the following. 1. Turn off advanced Graphics. 2. Try a lower resolution. 3. Try turning on and using 16-bit colour
22:10:39.9  06/05/2016:      4. Ensure any required video codecs are installed.
22:10:39.9  06/05/2016:      5. Try a different theme, or try running the theme at the resolution it was designed for
22:10:39.9  06/05/2016:      6. Try the latest version of GameEx. GameEx is updated all the time.
22:10:39.9  06/05/2016:      7. If you performed an auto update to this version. Try performing a manual download and install.

22:10:40.2  06/05/2016:  ERRORS DETECTED: EXITING
22:10:40.5  06/05/2016:  Bye

 

 

DxDiag tells me everything's fine. Using latest video drivers from ATI. If I try to force reinstalling directx (by tricking it to think I have an outdated version), I get an error telling there's another application that is using something from directx and can't be installed.

 

Any idea?
