That doesn't look like a complete log.

Depending on the type of crash encountered, is it possible for the log to abend incomplete? I wonder if he is pulling from a corrupt file in the cache?

<looking down - still see training wheels attached>

Any ideas at all? If I remove this hard drive and re-image using v10.55 it works perfectly.

If I use the old 11.06 it will literally work every other time (Crash once, Work once, Crash, Work, Crash, Work etc)

When 11.06 crashes its the same error, this new version crashes right after the Please Wait box appears.

Thanks!

First things first... Upgrade to 11.14 (or whatever the current version is). Sometimes these bugs can be fixed already. It's pointless to debug a problem that might already be fixed (it's happened, don't laugh)!

I've reported this one to Tom so he can have a look see. So let's wait for him to respond to hopefully help you out. ;)

I can see its crashing when trying to draw the background. I would think the issue is related to your video hardware if you are running a new install with the default theme. I also see thats its doing something very odd as its initialise the graphics twice. I see "loading music" before the problem. What audio settings do you have?

Hi Guys thanks!

Im using two audios:

1: Background Ambiance

2: iTunes for music

Im using a GT220 atm. I have uninstalled and reinstalled GameEx multiple times (maybe like 5 times restarted after each uninstall and re-install)..if you think its my card I can try swapping it with a 8800 GTX from my main Rig when I get home.
