simbamame Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Not sure if this has been brought up before but couldn't trace it it so... GameEx is working fine, but when i exit to desktop all i get is a black screen. if i click show desktop i get the icons but with a black background my wall paper has gone i have to go to personalize and re-select my wallpaper. Any Ideas?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Mind attaching your gameex.ini and log.txt files to take a look at any clues they might provide? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The log would help but you can turn off hide desktop to disable that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbamame Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Thanks dont know what ive done but it now seems to work..i dont loose the desktop, all i ve done is alter the colour depth to 16bit, wonder if it has summit to do with the theme?.

stigzler Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Sounds like HideOS.exe to me. I've had similar problems with it. There's a setting in GemVoy to disable HideOS.exe entirely. That stops it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
