Can't update game list

[urbecrisch]

Hi. I have been using GameEx for a couple of weeks now. Everything was working fine until yestreday when I tried to update my Mame game list. During the update I accidentally exited out of GameEx. Ever since I did that GameEx does not show any Mame games and it doesn't give me the option to update my game list. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

I just installed newest version and now can't get GameEx to work. Here's my log:

delete your gamelist.txt file located in C:\Program Files\GameEx\DATA and rerun your update list
