Hi!

I was testing gameex today and have some troubles. First I have to say, gameex works really great, I like the snapshot features and so on. I have a cmputer Monitor (TFT) and a High Definition TV(720p, Tube). It connectet via HDMI and NVIDIA Graphics Card. When I try the option to use the second screen(or even connect second screen) I have big troubles. The screen goes first black, after a few seconds the sound appears(i think normally the black screen is the donation screen). Then the complete screen discconects, reconnects goes black and so on. The main computer screen also gets black. Is there something i am doing wrong?

Sorry for my English, hope you understand!

The first step would be to post a log so we could see what's going on.

okay I have to say I have no idea where i can generate one.

I tried reinstalling Windows 7, I even tried another mainboard, but same results.

Oh wait is this right?:

I need to ask, are you trying to have GameEx view span across two monitors or use the second smaller monitor for scores? I know that it will sometimes take issue with Aero enabled (which is probabyl a good thing to disable anyways as it is a resource hog).

My plan was to use my TV screen (The second monitor) as the gameex/emulator screen. Is that even possible with zsnes? I tried Zsnes without frontend and it is not able to run on a secondary monitor(Old DX Version I read).

I will try disabling AERO
