This happened to me twice in the past...no clue what was the problem then...however I'm registered...and don't have a virtual PC setup to test.

My best guess is that somehow the install got damaged, so try downloading and rerunning the setup once again to see if the issue clears.

Oh next time use a more descriptive topic title, it will generally get you better and more direct help from those that may have experienced the same issue in the past.

[Guest Zilverw0lf]

Ok so i tried redownload it and reinstalling it but it's still the same .

[bkenobi]

Any chance you have a sticky button. I remember one thread a while back where a button was stuck, so it was going to the donation page on startup...

[Guest Zilverw0lf]

Well i tried pull on the "1" and "2" key but it's still the same damnit =/

[Tom Speirs]

Well i tried pull on the "1" and "2" key but it's still the same damnit =/

Whether they seem stuck on not, windows is detecting either 1 or 2 being pressed. If your using a cab (which would be useful if you told us) check your wiring, if your using wireless keyboard or mouse they could interfere.

End of the day Windows (not GameEx) thinks 1 or 2 is pressed.

If you seriously want help, then provide some more detail about what you got setup there.

Thanks,

Tom.

[Guest Zilverw0lf]

Ok well i don't know what a cab is but neither my mouse or keyboard are wireless and i actually was so desperate that i pulled out that keyboard but it's still not working.

[bkenobi]

A cab refers to an arcade cabinet. Many of us have a computer installed in one, but not everyone. If you are using a keyboard, then the only reason GameEx SHOULD go to the donation page is if a button is pressed. The most likely cause is a stuck key. An easy way to check for this is just open notepad and see if anything gets typed on the screen.

Download char probe

http://www.dextronet.com/charprobe.php

This will tell you what key your pressing.

Also it will tell you the VK code as well which is also usefull for configuring certian aspects of gameex

[Guest Zilverw0lf]

Haha this is funny i used charprobe to see what key being pressed and none got pressed but then i kept it running and started gameex and then it shows me the number 1 key was pressed this is so strange. Lol this is even more wierd i used a key remapper to disable the key but its still going to donation page and the key still gets pressed oh my god.

Well then I suggest that you just donate..Its obvious your PC wants you too..

This is really too funny. Maybe Tom has a since of humor Just kidding..The free version doesn't harass you that much.

Have you tried updating to the latest and greatest version yet?

[Tom Speirs]

To be honest, I'm finding this thread a little funny:) Its a strange one alright!

If your tying to get a free license, its an inventive way of doing it. Better than the begging emails I sometimes get

Seriously, Im sorry your having problems, but I have nothing else to suggest for now.

[Guest Zilverw0lf]

Yeah i got the newest version no im not trying to get free license this nag realy annoys me i bet the programming code looks like

Starting gameex.exe

Force to press button1

Succeed

well i guess my computer is really fucked up then .

Well Since you don have an IPAC or some other hand wired setup.

Have you tried starting gameex and unpluging the keyboard..just for fun

And Iam pretty sure the code is

Launching gamex.exe

Looking for reg file....not found
