Help please I'm going nuts here
« on: June 25, 2010, 01:39:59 pm »
 :banghead:This is driving me nuts, hopefully someone can help. I have a machine I made a few years ago with Maximus arcade and an I pac for interface. My problem that just appeared is this: When I turn on the machine it loads MA (all I did was create a shortcut to the exe and put it into the startup folder) the problem is, after MA loads it just starts the game that was highlighted on the menu, it won't let you select a different game, just automatically loads. Then when I try to escape I just get a Black Screen. MA works fine if I run it from the exe rather than the shortcut in the startmenu. I really think it is either the I pac or my computer. The reason I think it is a computer isue is that when windows starts up and I try to right click with my mouse the dialog box only briefly pops up and disappears, also if I drag my cursor to any Icon it will Automatically open that application just by passing over the icon. The strange thing is that if I hit any key on the keyboard then my mouse works as it should, this now makes me think it's a Ipac problem. Heeeeeeelp, anyone ever run into this or have Any ideas?

Boot into Safe mode and remove MA from your start up menu.

As far as why it's loading right into a specific game, I'm not sure.
WANTED: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 322, Oakview, CA 93022. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

This is an arcade cabinet so I want MA to load automatically, I just don't want the game itself to load automatically without giving me a chance to select which one I want from the menu.

Is there a button set to Left Mouse click and is it wired wrong or malfunctioning?

I think you have a button with a stuck micro switch.
