OK Minwah, I've got another one for you:
When mamewah is launched from the keywiz upload application it allows me to play one game, but when I exit the game I get a run-time 384 error and mamewah crashes.
This only seem to happens when I launch mamewah from the keywiz app (the keywiz reprograms the keyboard then launches mamewah).
Any idea of what might be causing the problem? I've contacted RandyT to let him know about it but you may have ideas of what the keywiz softwareis doing to launch mamewah that is diferrent from from double clicking on it. (I have never programmed in VB and have no idea what this error message might mean). Could this be a focus related issue? or a full screen vs not issue?
Edit: I tried both settings for the "task switching" setting in mamewah and the behavior is the same.
Edit: just to be sure I went back to the "classic 800x600" layout to make surethat the issue was not with my custom skin.
Edit: here's RandyT's response:
The only thing I can think of is that MAMEWAH siezes control of the system
in such a way that it doesn't allow the KeyWiz software to exit properly.
This is just a guess, because I haven't seen the code.
But I do believe this is a MAMEWAH problem, as I have tested a LOT of
software without any issues, including a number of other frontends.
Unfortunately, this one is out of my hands.

Edit (yet again): I guess it looks like Pungo76 has reported this problem in this thread already, I somehow missed it (I hate the search feature on this forum, I can never get it to work for me):
I'm currently having two issues when running Mamewah. First off are all the details:
Mamewah .962 (the latest I believe)
Arcade Monitor with ArcadeVGA
Keywiz
Windows XP Pro
AMD 1300 PC
I currently have the keywiz uploader in my startup, so that upon booting the pc the software uploads to the keywiz then it runs Mamewah. Everything seems fine, but after selecting and exiting the first game I get the following error:
Runtime Error '384'
A form can't be moved or sized while minimized or maximized.
I then can hit OK and then open back up Mamewah and everything works fine. However, when I exit Mamewah and go back to windows, then return to Mamewah again I can no longer see my artwork (snaps and marquees).
Have any thoughts?
Thanks,
