Now i can get in some times, but my game pad doesn't work in game ex very well and I get no picture from any emulator (nestopia, znes) WTF!!Pisses me off cause i got all the emulators and controls working on my new mini-itx machine I built specifically to run GameEx. Took me a weekend to get everything right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyG Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 No body is running into this problem? Hi,Not personally, but have you tried uninstalling DirectX 10? Never tried it myself, but I imagine if you got to Add/Remove programs, tick show updates at the top, you should get an option to roll back. It was like that with Media PLayer 10, I remember, but I don't know about DirectX.Good luck!JohnnyJust realized, this is already being addressed in another topic. http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=5068 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Zog Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Wow. DX10 on XP.. Didn't think it would install on an XP machine.. Either way, just uninstall her and install latest DX9.0c Nov 2007 Redist and it'll fix you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
