Title: Weird Windows issues
Post by: Ummon on May 01, 2008, 05:43:53 pm
I have this computer that started doing two strange things:

1. will not load games from the gui in Mame32 before the rewrite. It will however load them through that exe via cmd.

2. Windows Task Manager Windows Task Manager is messed up. It shows only the small beige box. No outer box with the bottom part showing values, and the upper part showing the menu with 'applications' etc. No main menu with 'file' etc. No blue border. Once I use it, I can't make the thing go away short of rebooting.


Can anybody help on either of these?

For the task manager issue, have you tried double clicking in the empty space around the tabs?  That should fix it.

EDIT:  Beat by 15 seconds!  Dammit.

Thanks. I had a good idea it was something REAL simple. It toggles back and forth.  I must've spazzed one time in moving the box and not noticed or something.
