Thanks  guys. Tried swapping exe to no avail.

The error is:

The application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way.

The line before that:

Line = (1) column =(9): error expression expected

If its win 10 theres a setting in Registry...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER > CONTROL PANEL > DESKTOP > FOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT

Change the value of foregroundlocktimeout to 0 and that solved the problem for me.  The window was popping under instead of over and this fixed it.

General / [PC] Re-installing but keeping all settings and emulator setup

« on: December 06, 2018, 01:28:10 AM »

Hi there, new to the forum.  Ive spent about 6 hours a week for about 2 months setting up a massive Attract Mode with all emulators, roms and artwork/videos on my Windows Mame machine.

My kid inadvertently turned off the power without shutting down and now I get a runtime error when first running attract mode, causing the program to close.

Is there any way of reinstalling attract mode but keeping all my themes, rom lists, artwork etc so it starts working again.  Im about ready to give up =(

Thanks for your help.
