Are you running it from the MAME presets in MA or are you using shortcuts or batch files to run it?  Same version of MAME being tested as being called?  Are you using straight mame or one of the gui'd versions of mame?

 select configuration tab
Select Mame. Towards the bottom left of the screen is a drop down for path. Change this, I changed from short
Path to long path now all my games work.  :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
