@mzube Welcome to the GameEx forums. Sorry you hit a snag.

Would you please post your GameEx.ini and log.txt as an attachment. They can be found in the GameEx\CONFIG and GameEx\LOG folders. The error report you posted is essentially the log.ini file, but having the attachment tells us we have the full log.

Also, it looks like you are using an ATI Radeon card. The Catalyst drivers come with an addon called Raptor. Raptor can cause problems with GameEx. If you have it installed, you might try uninstalling it or reinstalling video drivers without it.

Also, you posted this in the GameEx Evolution FAQ forum. Evolution is a different branch of GameEx that is currently in Alpha. If you have questions about GameEx or GameEx Arcade, please create your future posts under the GameEx\General forum. No worries though. I will flag this thread to be moved.
