newbie questions

[kaw12]

hi all,

new here to forum. looking forward to getting game ex to work for me. hopefully you all can help me out.

i started with game ex 10.something and have been confused from the start on how to update the program without deleting

the program from my computer and reinstalling it. well somehow i got 1 update to work and it went to 10.38 yay. but when

i open game ex in my computer i got all the files you know CONFIG THEMES all those files in the yellow folders and then there is

another game ex in the game ex i just opened. i did the auto update from 10.38 to .39 about 10 times but it still wont update to .39.

basically i deleted game ex 10.38 again to reinstall 10.39!

i dont like to do that cuz i know theres an easier way without me

having to reconfig everthing all over everytime an update comes out!

so, my question is, How do you update without loosing your settings?

(i know this topic has been beaten to death, so i apologise in advance).

All you need to do is either a) let the autoupdate do its thing. Download the setup file from the site and run it.

Is there any other things going on here, did you install gameex then move it to another volume?

Perhaps, I just have no way of knowing if ou are a reg'ed user or not. Plan B should still work.

im reg'ed! i had game ex program within' a game ex program and when i would autoupdate i would let it. but everytime i logged back on it would want to

update again. i dont know why i had game ex inside of another game ex but maybe thats why. i will find out on the next update if i got it right.

thanks again.

Sometimes the autoupdate feature gets broken. If you do a manual install, it will usually start working again.
