Errors on launch, mame games won't run

I'd really love to get this program working and make a donation to unlock all the features. Most of the time it will load, but occasionally it won't and I get an error, I'll post the error log. Also if it does load, when I try to launch a mame game, screen goes blank and goes right back to gameex. I've spent hours reading the FAQ's and trying all the suggestions I can find that were already posted, but I just can't get it to work - turned off bezel, just updated video driver... Any help is appreciated

My setup:

P4, XP home SP2, 1Gig ram, video ati 9200 256mb

I've tried so many things. Without some help I'll have to abort. I've updated to SP 2, latest video drivers, clean install of .net frame 1.1, directx 9.0. I've tried 16 bit graphics, no advanced graphics, turned off bezel. I've given it most of a day. Please - any help out there?

I'm using mame32. It works great outside of GameEX.

I had a bit of hope. After installing SP 2, and having the same problem, I went back to updates and there was a few more available - one was a .netframe 1.1 hotfix. After those updates and a reboot, GameEx started three times in a row without the error log. Usually what would happen would be GameEx wouldn't start (I'd get the error log) then if I tried to launch it again immediately after closing the error log, it would start.

However, this bit of hope wasn't much. After starting GameEx, I still couldn't get a mame game to run. Then after trying a few things, I started getting the error log again.

I tried installing .netframe 2.0 for the heck of it. Still all the same problem.

On the times gameex will start, I can play videos, picture slideshows, music, check the weather. This makes me think there is just on little tweak that will get this thing going for me.

any more thoughts out there?
