I've been able to replicate this twice now. If a video is playing from within MCE, and GameEx is launched, it will crash with a DirectX error. Both times it happened, I was watching TV. I have been able to load GameEx from within MCE however as long as nothing is playing in the background. Error log has been sent, and is posted here:

Sorry, just got a free moment to update. The problem still exists. I don't know what it could be exactly. I've now also been able to have it error like this without watching TV first. It just seems to happen randomly. What's wierd though, is that it will load the "TITLE" screen fine, but then crash when it's loading up the menu. I shouldn't really say loading the menu, it crashs before it starts to display anything. All I can see is the "GameEx" title, then it crashes, and goes back into MCE. Here's the latest log, should be automatically sent to you anyway:
