hello chris ?

david656:
bit of a twist ! i got naffed off with DOS and have moved with the times to a XP mameWAH setup. now as it is mame (commandline) is dead slow i mean all games are chugging along at a extremly slow rate !

its a AMD board with 256mb ram and bout 2. summit Ghz CPU

on my main home PC wincab loads a treat as soon as i shuv it on this AMD piece of crap it sort of loads a windowed black box with the name wincab at the top, the thinking light flashes away and the HDD weerss away, so its obviously updating the song list BUT nothing happens with the screen except for this windowed box !

i really hope you can tell me why its doing this, i do like your jukebox software and want to use it, but am getting naffed off at how un pridictable Windows can be ! the PC is set up so page fileing (what ever that is) is on another partition, 

i hope you can help :D

thanks david

This usually means that WinCab has been asked to run in a resolution that's not supported by the video driver.  The screen should still come up, though.  Check jukebox.ini and try a fairly universal resolution like 640x480 or 800x600 and see if that gets anywhere.

Chris,

you'll neva guess what ! it was the onboard video it just didn't like it, so i got out a AGP graphics card the NVIDIA TNT 2, and it loved it !! :D :D

 :notworthy:

so yup, and also i loaded WINcab in seconds i nearly fell over amazed at the speed ! so maybe MAME will get fater now !

one last thing, can i run WINcab from mameWAH?

thanks Chris
