This is the error I get

Gamepad/Joystick disabled

13:44:58.7 15/06/2007: Playing Startup Video

13:45:03.5 15/06/2007: Error: Error in the application.

13:45:03.6 15/06/2007: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface.GetDc()

13:45:03.6 15/06/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.StartupVideo(Boolean relativepath)

13:45:03.6 15/06/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.InitGameEx(Boolean reinit, String ctheme, Boolean nohideos)

13:45:03.6 15/06/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform..ctor()

13:45:03.6 15/06/2007: Closing database connection

13:45:03.6 15/06/2007: GameEx is exiting with errors

13:45:05.6 15/06/2007: ERRORS DETECTED: EXITING

I have no idea what it means . I'd like some help in overcoming this so that I can get this working as its seems to be the only really good games frontend available.

Any help at all would be appreciated. The more I read about this prog, and the more support I see for this the better I like and want it. I also have quite a few friends that I know would be interested in this.

Any help at all would be appreciated. The more I read about this prog, and the more support I see for this the better I like and want it. I also have quite a few friends that I know would be interested in this.

OK, remove the startup video. That's where it is failing. Might be that you dont have codecs.

Couldn't find where the startup video thingy was, so installed ffdshow and all ok starting up now.

Off to spend some time getting it configured now.

Thanks for your help.
