Odd and puzzling problem

[TalkingBull]

I have set up GameEx on one of my PC's that is attached to a Plasma TV I have and I use it only to view media files. I have about 500 GB of television shows on two seperate computers that that paerticular PC is networked to so I don't have to kepe the files all in one place.

Here is the problem... and it is a weird one.

Whenever I turn the computer on and it boots up into GameEx, the videos section loses all of the directories. Where once was Futurama, The Simpsons, and The Family Guy, I get the "No video files" text displayed.

I go into the config and make sure something didn't get erased and everything is there. The only way I can get them to show up again is to click on the browse and add button... I don't have to add anyhting, just click that and then hit cancel. Once I do that, GameEx will start back up with everything back in place. I have absolutely no idea why it is doing this.

I love using GamEx on my MAME machine and I love using it on my MCE PC.. mainly because it is FAR SUPERIOR to MCE... but this is just weird!

Anyone have a fix/explanation for this?

Try writing a batch file that maps the drives before it launches GameEx.
