MAME works fine outside gameex. the previous version of MAME also worked fine i have all windows updates with the latest Nvidia display drivers

after i select the game the control pannel shows then screen goes black for a second or so and the control pannel come back on for a second or 2 then gameex errors.

I think this is the problem:

16:30:49.3 18/02/2008: Warning: DirectDraw blitting set to NOT wait

I should really remove the setting for that, it should never be used.

Its under tweaks performance in advanced config.
