helpman Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Hi there! I decided to upgrade my arcade's video card. Replaced an old nvidia for an ATI card. According to DXDIAG everything's fine, but when I run gameex (that always worked fine before), I get this: Quote 22:10:36.9 06/05/2016: Opening Configuration File 22:10:37.0 06/05/2016: GameEx: Version 14.48: Starting Log 22:10:37.2 06/05/2016: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 32 bits 22:10:37.2 06/05/2016: Aero running 22:10:37.2 06/05/2016: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control 22:10:37.2 06/05/2016: Getting CPU and RAM info 22:10:37.2 06/05/2016: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+, 3071MB 22:10:37.2 06/05/2016: 2,31Ghz - 2 Cores or CPU's 22:10:37.2 06/05/2016: Running Randomize() 22:10:38.4 06/05/2016: Loading PlugIns 22:10:38.4 06/05/2016: Loaded Plugin:"LEDBlinky" Version 4.0.0 By Arzoo 22:10:38.4 06/05/2016: PlugIn: "LEDBlinky" Initialized OK 22:10:38.4 06/05/2016: Using Plugin System Version: 1,3 22:10:38.4 06/05/2016: Loaded Plugin:"Xpadder Plugin" Version 1.3.1 By Adultery 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: PlugIn: "Xpadder Plugin" Initialized OK 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Using Plugin System Version: 1,41 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Setting default net connection limit to 15 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Running Misc startup tasks 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Setting Menu types 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Getting Configuration Values 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Using Theme: Helpman Arcade Greengold 640 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Helpman Arcade Greengold 640 22:10:38.6 06/05/2016: Launching HideOS.exe 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: CPWizard enabled 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance) 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: Hiding Taskbar 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: Is Media Center running? 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: Media Center Mode 2 22:10:38.7 06/05/2016: Video previews on.
