MAME not opening after CRT EMU Driver install
KAG:
I'll double click the .exe, it will pop up in the task bar for a split second and disappear. No errors or anything. I've tried running from the command prompt, running as admin. I can't get it to load.
Also, where do I find older versions of GroovyMAME?
Zebidee:
Run groovymame from command line and generate a log file. Post it here.
Instructions for doing this this are in the sig line for every one of Calamity's posts.

I've got it figured out, not exactly sure what the issue was but here's my suspicion.
When installing the CRT Emu driver for my HD 5450 I found the computer always crashed. BSOD and reboot. However I'd find it appeared to be installed. So I'd move on. MAME would always open before reaching the VM Maker portion of the install. After that, nothing. I reset my computer twice trying to solve this. Tried tons of other random stuff. Nothing would fix it. Today I started to look farther into the driver install breaking my PC and grabbed a nearly identical PC I always use for my emulation cabinets (LCD based). It was purchased used but had been offline longer and had to have a lower Windows 10 OS version installed.
I installed the GPU, went through the steps and it worked! My assumption is a newer Windows 10 version or an update may have caused a problem installing that CRT Emu driver? I'm unsure if there are different versions of the drive as a friend sent me a thumb drive with all of the files I'd need on it. Either way ,its working now.
Just thought I'd come back and update this just in case anyone else is struggling with a similar issue.
Zebidee:
Yeah. Well. Maybe. Who knows? It is not really a solution.
Your log file would likely have the right info to solve the mystery.

I tried creating the log but just got an error creating the txt file.
