I've been tossing together my own theme (Started off of Valhalla)

Prior to the Start page loading it crashes with this error.

I've upgraded to the most recent DirectX 9.0c

I've tested on a clean install of GameEX 9.63 as well as with an Upgrade.

I can load 9.62 with the Theme I've been working on, but not 9.63.

If I change over to the Default MediaCenter V1 theme it loads fine.

Some notes, I've ran most of my pngs thru the FixColorKey utility.

I'm also including a link to my Theme for download (19MB)

Palmores Arcade Theme

If anyone can lend assistance on what I need to change in my theme for 9.63 compatibility that'd be great.

(I have tried turning off alpha blending videos, as well as animated bars, no luck)

Thanks =)

Oh and btw, once I get the kinks worked out I'll be releasing the photoshop base files to compile into your own theme =)
