GameEX crashes on me

Hello, I have been using gamex a while now. What I have noticed is that in the last 10 versions it crashes on me. I have found out how I can make it work though.

If I set my desktop to 16bit color and force GameEx not to change resolution it has no problem crashing, but it looks ugly. Bold areas around the texts.

But as soon as I let GameEx set the resolution or use the desktop preferences with more colors, it crashes as soon as I select a mame game.

I will add a log to this thread as soon as I am home...

OK some info. I have a computer (Shuttle MN31L) with AMD Athlon XP 3000+ and it's a NVidia Nforce 2 and GeForce 4 MX onboard graphic. The machine has 512Mb

Regards (I hope it helps to find it)
