Weird Problem - Please Help!

[TalkingBull]

I am running GameEx on a touchscreen system that I built and have absolutely no problems on it whatsoever. The thing is, I built an identical system with the same hardware for a buddy of mine and I am having all sorts of problems! I am running windows games via the emulator section. Basically I am launching shortcuts (*.LNK). The problem I am having is that some of the programs launch and some of them don't. They are all properly installed and will run independent of GameEx but will not run inside. For example, I can play Bookworm Adventures but not Bejeweled 2 (Though they both launch in Windows proper). The screen goes black, then I see the mouse pointer doing the hourglass and then right back to the GameEx game screen. I can not figure out why it ts doing this and it is driving me absolutely mad! If anyone knows what is going on here, please let me know!!!

I am running the latest version of GameEx on an AMD 64x2 6400 2.3 Dual Core with 2 GB of RAM runninc Vista Home Premium 32x. There isn't a hardware problem as far as resources or anything goes...

I don't have a intelligent explanation to give you but, try launching directly the .EXE opposed to launching the .lnk. In my case, it fixed some problems.

Launching the exe will work, but I assume what TalkingBull wants to do is keep all the links in a single folder. Do the links launch outside of GameEx?

I don't have a good explanation but I fixed the problem. I just reinstalled all the games. It was the last thing I could think to try and it worked. I have absolutely no idea why...
