[RESOLVED] (installed 13.32) Can't get MAME going

HI,

I've resisted posting for 3 nights now as felt sure I could find the answers here somewhere but have to admit defeat. I'm probably getting something very basic wrong but can't figure it out at all.

I bought a second hand Cocktail Table earlier this year which was running GameEx on XP with only 1Gb of RAM and an old celeron CPU. It was running the MAME games perfectly.

I wanted to try some of the other emulators, PSCX2 etc so decided to upgrade the system. I installed a new CPU, upgraded the RAM and PSU and installed Windows 7, now kind of wishing I hadn't......

I have downloaded GameEx direct from the website and gone through the set up Wizard, I was a bit unsure when I got to the download emulators section but downloaded MAME and left everything in the MAME setup to defaults. When I came to the section in the Setup Wizard to select which emulator to use I moved MAME from the R hand list to the L hand list but when asked to download the emulator and database I clicked NO after reading this

I've put a few ROMS in C: Roms/Emulators/MAME/Roms and there showing up in GameEx but when I try to load them I just get a black screen which I then have to Esc out of to get back to GameEx. I'm confident the ROMS are the same version of MAME as I have installed

The most frustrating thing in all this is that I have done exactly the same setup on  my Laptop and everything works fine.

Please please put me out of my misery,

Thanks

Jon
