Problem Creating Videos

[wblake0000]

Whenever I got to create videos for my MAME games using the Create MAME Videos program that comes with GameEx I get an an error to the effect that my collection was modified. I've tried it with the videos that I have created previously in the folder (c:\videos as you can see from the log) or nothing in the folder and it still messes up. Any ideas?

I still get the exact same error with 6.55.

I still get the exact same error with 6.55.

Yeah, the fix was actually for another issues with creating videos, which I broke a few versions back.

I have looked into your issue in the code, but really cannot see what the issue could be. Its very strange.

Does GameEx work ok normally? Do you get as far as the message box asking to confirm?

Thanks for looking into it. Yeah I thought it was wierd also. GameEx works ok normally, except it won't run maximized. I don't get a message box asking me to confirm anyting.

Also I wanted to mention that when I start GameEx with windows (from startup) it defaults to being minimized in the taskbar, even though I've selected in the properties box to run maximized, (in both GameEx and the shortcut in windows)
