Either my search fu isn't working right, or this hasn't been covered...
...I had MaLa FE installed, along with MAME .103 and everything was working fine - all games ran at the right speed, etc, etc. Then the nVidia Experience software program said I needed new video drivers. I figured what the hey and let it try to install them. Well, turns out I had to re-install the nVidia Experience and updated video drivers. Now every time I fire up the cabinet and run a game from within MaLa it acts as though it is running in super-turbo mode: the attract screen and the game itself scream by so fast you can't even play. As soon as I exit out of MaLa and run MAME and select any game, everything runs fine, at normal speed. I decided to un-install the video drivers and then re-install *just* the drivers and not the nVidia Experience software, but no luck - same thing.
Has anyone seen this? Do I need to un-install MaLa and completely re-install it? I am running Windows XP SP3 on a nVidia 9800GT card if that helps with anything.

turn on throttling?

I believe I toggled that option off and on already and it didn't help. I'll go back again and check that setting though. Thanks for the tip.

turn on throttling?
Okay, I went back and looked and can't find a "Throttling" option *anywhere* in the MaLa configuration or settings. MAME itself has a checkbox for CPU throttling, which is checked, but as I stated in my original post all the games run at the correct speed if I exit out of MaLa and run in MAME. As soon as I restart MaLa and select a game, I get the problem back. This leads me to believe this is strictly a MaLa problem.
Any other ideas? No one has seen this?

all I can suggest is getting a fresh MaLa directory and set it up again, copy over all the game lists and your theme, but nothing else, see if the issue persists.
