HideOS.exe standing in front of my emulators?

[Obey Robots]

Hi all,

I've got a problem with (I think) HideOS.exe standing in the way of several emulators.

I initially installed the last 6.8x release (registered) and got ZSNES working fine. I updated to the latest (6.95 according to the website?) so I could use the great Emu-Wizards this release has. I'm confident my rom paths are fine and everything matches what it should in the INI file.

My problem is when I try to launch many emulators (Bliss, O2EM, Virtual Pinball, Virtual Jaguar, MESS, NEStopia), I get a blank screen. If I force GameEx to run on a secondary monitor NEStopia works fine - i.e. HideOS.exe covers up the GameEx screen and not the primary display where NEStopia is running.

Even when trying to Alt+Tab to the emulator HideOS.exe continues to block it out.

Is there a way to disable this HideOS program or are there other settings I can try to make the hiding program be less aggressive or completely go away? I would be okay with GameEx running on a separate monitor but unfortunately I can't pick which monitor it runs on and of course it runs on the one I can't see well from the Player 1 position.

I'm at a loss because my INI files match everyone else's and they work just fine outside of GameEx.

Thanks for any pointers.

In advanced Configuration for the emulators change the show desktop setting. Alternatively make sure the emus are set to run full screen. Its mentioned in the FAQ/DOCS.

Ahhhhh I can't believe I didn't see that when searching the forums/docs, thanks!
