Hi,
i just got into GameEx but i got a liitle problem after i exit a game or the configuartion tool. There are these strange white bars and the letters cfx if somethings crashed. GameEx starts without any trouble. These occurs only if GameEx exit a running programm and stays even at the exit screen. I tried a fresh install but no luck. On my Win 8 System there is no problem at all only with my XP Offline/Emu PC.Or is this some kind of nag screen cause i didn't bougt the registered version yet?
Spoiler
