Just started using GameEx recently and haven't been able to get it to work on my computer. It will start up fine, but as soon as i use the arrows keys to choose a selection GameEx exists to the Log Screen. I have tried different resolutions 800x600, 640x480 - different color depths 32, 16 - tried all of the default themes. Pretty much everything i could find in the forum i tried and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appropriated, I think this is an awesome program - i just can't get it to work on my box.

Here are some specs:

Win98 SE

EPIA-M MiniITX Motherboard

256 Mb RAM

2 Gb CF HD

Here is the Log output:

Here is the Log output:

19:15:21.7 3/18/07: GameEx: Version 7.83: Starting Log

Hello Tom,

Thanks for the quick reply. The latest version i could find on the site was 7.83, and that is what the log was generated from.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi, Im pretty sure this issue is fixed in the latest version. Go grab it.

Thanks,

Tom

Nope no luck still seems to be doing the same thing, as soon as i press the down arrow key to go to the next menu choice, it crashes.

Sorry, your version is OK. The error in the log is not a bug in GameEx by the look at it. Its an error on your system. I would try latest drivers/udates etc. If that does not help let me know.
