"mGalaxy has stopped working" before it even starts.

[yamzzz]

I have also tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MAME and creating a database for them in mGalaxy causes the crash.

[yamzzz]

Alright, I just gave it a try in C:\mGalaxy. First off, the data folder still installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\mGalaxy\Data so I initially received the error you see as the attachment. Then I moved the data folder to the mGalaxy folder and after I created a MAME database,  mGalaxy_Runway would crash with the same error as before. However, if I DON'T click "Use database file," mGalaxy will start but is obviously not usable because my ROM names are all sorts of ugly and messed up. So perhaps it's something related to using a database file? I'm using a vanilla MAME 0.151 exe for what it's worth.

Thanks!

EDIT: Yep, it appears to work just fine without using a database, but as soon as I click that box and the save in mGalaxy_Runway, mGalaxy.exe will crash upon opening. Curious!

[mgalaxy]

Would you please try to install mGalaxy outside of the 'Program Files (x86)' folder (let's say at the root level of c: !) and do a test on it AND mGalaxy_Runway?

[yamzzz]

Sure! I will paste the errors that show up at the time of the crash!

There's never been reported error implying 'Kernelbase.dll'!!
Could you try to get further information using the 'Event Viewer'?
http://www.howtogeek.com/123646/htg-explains-what-the-windows-event-viewer-is-and-how-you-can-use-it/

[yamzzz]

First off, I wanna say I love the look and what I know of this front-end. The problem is, I cannot get it to start in order to enjoy it!

Whenever I load the actual front-end, I get what you see in the attachment and this is what shows up in the Event Viewer:

I've tried re-installing directx, .net, video card drivers, etc. Also tried administrative mode as well as compatibility modes... to no avail. Any ideas? I'd love for it to function so I could purchase a supporter skin!

Thanks!
