  1. By the way, I've tried the GameEx.exe that was posted here for a error when updating GameEx to 9.63 but I've got the same problem. Thank you again!
  2. Hi, I am in the first stages of building an Arcade Box. I need Windows XP running with no sign of it. So I found this link to hide the Windows: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Hiding_Windows So I did everything with GameEx as my front-end software. When I was testing GameEx, everything works fine and greatly. But when I configure GameEx automatically starting up without showing the Windows (boot, messages and Explorer), I got this error: 10:07:02.6 12/8/2008: GameEx: Version 9.63: Starting Log 10:07:02.6 12/8/2008: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 10:07:02.6 12/8/2008: Operating System Name: Windows XP 10:07:02.6 12/8/2008: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 10:07:02.8 12/8/2008: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 10:07:02.8 12/8/2008: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 10:07:02.8 12/8/2008: Intel® Core2 Extreme CPU X7900 @ 2.80GHz, 512MB 10:07:02.8 12/8/2008: 2.79Ghz 10:07:02.8 12/8/2008: Running Randomize() 10:07:02.8 12/8/2008: Loading PlugIns 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Running Misc startup tasks 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Setting Menu types 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Opening Configuration File 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Getting Configuration Values 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Using Theme: Default - Dark Gloss 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Dark Gloss 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Launching HideOS.exe 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance) 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Hiding Taskbar 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Is Media Center running? 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Media Center Mode 2 10:07:02.9 12/8/2008: Video previews on.

GameEx is updated all the time. 10:07:46.6 12/8/2008: 7. If you performed an auto update to this version. Try performing a manual download and install. 10:07:46.6 12/8/2008: The funny thing is that GameEx works really well right after this error when I make the Explorer show up again. Can anybody help me please? Thank you very much!
