Requesting Help

[MadMan]

Hi everyone, I'm requesting help with my registered copy of Game Ex. I've been trying for two nights so far but have had no joy. Every time I try to brows a list that has AVI Snaps enabled Game Ex will minimize to the system tray and will not maximize. I have to use Task Manager to exit Game Ex. When I browse games lists that don't have any AVI Snaps enabled Game Ex seems stable. I've tried updating to the newest x64 MAME and re-pointing all of my folders to the correct locations but still no joy. Perhaps some one could point me in the right direction.

Thanks for any help & useful suggestions.

It sounds to me like your video cdec is stealing focus, Id unisntall any/all codec packs,divx etc from your machine. Then Id install the latest ffdshow.

If the videos are in DivX format it could be that old focus issue. You can try the GameEx DivX Tray Icon Fix to see if that fixes the problem, or as Brian says install the latest ffdshow (or as I often recommend the Vista Codec Pack)

Thanks for the suggestions. I had installed the latest FREE version of the Divx codec, so as you suggested I'll try uninstalling it and update to the latest version of ffdshow.

Thanks & here's x'ing my fingers.

Update --> ok, you guys/gals were correct. I uninstalled the latest Divx codec and installed the compatible version of ffdshow and the Divx tray icon fix and now everything works great! Thanks everyone. Now I'm going to try out my Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Digital joy stick that I picked up at the Goodwill store over the Thanksgiving weekend for only $5. Wahooo! Here I come Centipede!
