Hello every body I'am having an issue.

I have two cabs and one is running xp pro and the other is using media center.

I am using instant sheller and it works great! on the XP pro (non media center) boots up and works as it should.

using media center gamex tries to load and errors out saying media center is not running so gameex will not launch. Since media center isnt requred why does it error out?

any help would be appreciated.. If I figure it out in the meantime I will post the solution.

Thanks

I don't recall that being an error, that just means GameEx wont launch Media Center on exit.

You need to post the log file in order for me to figure out why it errors.

Tom.

After some investigating It doesnt seem to have anything to do with instant sheller I thought it might have not loaded a required service but I went and loaded explorer and tried to launch gameex and still no luck.

A little history on what Ive been doing.

I have Gamex working in a administrative account and it works great. Then I created another account to only run Gameex. I used instant sheller and had it only mody a single account so that when this user logs in it will only run gameex. After this I logged back in to my administrator account and made the new accout a limited user. I logged off admin and logged into the other account and got the error I posted in the prevoius post.

I then went into gameex config unter tweaks and added EHSHELL process to the launch on startup. now I recieve a diffrent error. Keep in mind gamex works fine in the original account just not in the new account.

It just hangs here.

sorry for the long story. here is the log
