I have also run into this. You may want to post your .ini and log as I'm sure you'll be asked to do so:)

And just to clarify tthurman's post a bit... ...the gameex.ini can be found in the GameEx\CONFIG folder. It contains your GameEx setup config... ...and the log.txt is found in your GameEx\LOG folder. It will show info about your setup and (hopefully) error messages that will help diagnose the problem. If you could attach both files to a reply post, it is a good place to start. One other thing. It is important that the version of your romset matches the version of your mame. If there is a mismatch, that will lead to some or all games not showing up in the GameEx game list.

Based on your post yesterday I have to ask, do you have a romset? If so did you update GameEx after you got everything configured and got in to the GameEx interface? Do you have .net framework 3.5 installed? Do you have the LAV Codecs installed (in the downloads section)? You haven't provided an .ini or log, so you really haven't given us much to go on, but the above are the basic problems new users typically encounter.

Been a while, time for an update I guess! I have probably fixed some bugs before I ran optimization on the code, I don't have the release notes for 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 but I'm sure I did something important back there! LOL

A nice little update that makes use of some new MAME functionality to send the F12 key without need of a custom compile, and a bunch of optimizations and code cleanup. Check it out!

Is this an integrated VP support thing? If so, disable it. Run PinballX as Windowed, Full Screen then configure VPX to run exclusive full screen. Problem solved. Integrated support copies over certain PinballX settings for use in VPX. It makes it easier to get beginners up-and-running, but after a while I think it gets in the way and creates problems as it is literally overwriting screenres.txt and registry keys. At some point to enable your customizations or other advanced features you must take the training wheels off and learn how the software functions. Often getting certain Stern S.A.M. system games running or enabling full colorizations on DMD requires directly editing the Windows registry. PinballX and VPX are two different programs. You do want to run VPX as exclusive, full screen. You don't need to run PinballX as exclusive, full screen, It is recommended that you don't. But even well prior to v2.91 I found that PinballX just operates more smoothly windowed.

Sorry this happened to you. It happens occasionally, I would almost say rarely, but I really don't know. I also cannot say why. Look for the UpgradeBackup.ini in your config folder. It is a copy of your GameEx.ini when the last update occurred. Make a copy of your GameEx.ini and UpgradeBackup.ini to be safe. Then either replace the contents of the GameEx.ini with the contents of the UpgradeBackup.ini or rename the files...whatever you prefer. Then review the Setup Wizard to see which is best to keep. A new UpgradeBackup.ini will be generated if you don't have one there BTW. I keep backups of my GameEx.ini, CustomInput.ini, and CustomMenu.ini as well as the theme I use. If I ever have to rebuild or transfer to another PC, those are the ones that are the time savers to have.

Big update after a long winter's nap... :)
