quazza Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi I've been using gameex for some time now and absolutely love it as it has been working fine but the other day I did the normal update within gameex and it continued to work. After an uncheduled reboot I loaded gameex again for my son and whatdya know it now won't run below is the log stating a directx error.Also if I close vista media centre and run gameex from the desktop shortcut it runs fine so I am bit confused to say the least.8:40:58.6 26/01/2008: GameEx: Version 9.08: Starting Log08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Operating System Platform: Win32NT08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Operating System Name: Windows Vista08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Operating System Version: 6.0.600008:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Vista Aero running08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Initializing Vista volume control08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: .net Framework 2.0 Installed08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Intel® Core2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz, 2047MB08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: 1.87Ghz - 2 Cores or CPU's08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Running Randomize()08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Loading PlugIns08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Running Misc startup tasks08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Setting Menu types08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Opening Configuration File08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Getting Configuration Values08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Using Theme: Default - Default08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Default08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Launching HideOS.exe08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Hiding Taskbar08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Is Media Center running?08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Media Center is running08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode08:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Media Center Mode 208:40:58.6 26/01/2008: Closing Media Center08:40:58.9 26/01/2008: Video previews on.
