I have GameEx set to load on system startup in xp. The shortcut is in the startup folder. Though with this newest release, it crashes every time. I can load it up afterwards just fine though. Here is the log:

Hey,

I can't think of any reason why this would happen. Did it not happen with older versions? Have you changed the default theme at all, or installed any other software? Nothing much has changed where GameEx is failing for you in the last several versions.

It happened a couple of days in a row and then it just stopped. Now it loads fine. I think if I make it such that there is like a 2 second pause before it loads so the other boot items have time to finish, i wont have this problem again. Anyone know how to pause in the XP scripting language so I can make a .bat and run it instead?

You can use Sleep.exe which is included in the GameEx install. It's fixed at about 2-4 secs but you can call it more than once.
