General / Re: Attract Mode Freezing
« on: August 31, 2016, 02:36:50 PM »
Just as a follow-up.  Enabling or disabling the intro video made no difference with AM freezing.  Not really sure what else to try.  I do like the frontend.  It's just kind of annoying that it freezes up nearly every time I use it.  Once I restart it, it works long enough to go through and select a game but usually within 30 minutes to an hour it freezes again.

I even thought the main PC screen saver might be the cause, but I've had it disabled for over a week now and it also had no affect.

Any other ideas?

I did think of that and I set the Screen saver timer to 0 to disable it.  I then set all the other option to NO or NONE.   I do have a short intro video that plays when I first start up AM.  It plays fine and loads into AM fine.  I can then select a game and play just fine.  It's just when I walk away from the arcade and leave AM running.  When I come back, the AM home screen is almost always frozen until I ALT/CTRL/DEL.   I'll disable the intro movie and see if that makes any difference.

Thanks for the tip

I posted a similar question a few days ago and got some feedback,  but it looks like a May have asked the wrong question.   It first appeared to me that attract mode was freezing at the game selection screen when I would exit a game.  It was suggested that I set the RESFIX plugin.  I now have RESFIX set.  What I'm noticing now is that AM freezes or Hangs (after sitting idle for a while) at the game selection screen.  The only way out is ALT/CTRL/DEL and force AM close.  I can then restart and all is well until I let AM sit idle and then it freezes again.

I'm running WIN xp sp3 and am using the recent version of AM.

Any ideas?

General / Win XP, AM occasionally freezes when exiting game

I'm new to the forum.  I did try searching for this issue and found some that were close but nothing that ultimately helped me.   First and foremost, I think AM is AWESOME!  It works very well for what I wanted.  Not too difficult to get up and running but still had some cool features of the more high-end  frontends.

Here's what I've got.  When I've been in a game for a while and then try to exit back to the main game selection screen, I find that AM is frozen.  It doesn't react to anything I do except ALT/CTRL/DEL to force it to close from within the Task Manager.  I've tried to go through all the settings and see if I might be missing anything, but nothing jumps out at me as the AH HA.

I'm running the latest version of AM (just downloaded it about 4 days ago from the AM website.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks
