BTW this is Mame 32. I don't know what went wrong as I've updataed plenty of times without a problem. One thing I don't understand is that right before I extracted the new version, winzip told me that this is a read only file and do I still want to extract it ? Obviously it won't run on a read only file but why was it a read only file ? How do I change it ? I downloaded the file again,put it in a new folder and then moved my roms and samples into there new folders.I refreshed it and even reset all game properties to default. I'm still getting a blank screen like the whole program is crashing. I hit credit and start and I hear the game but picture is black. Any ideas ?
Thanks for any help.

But then again, that's just one man's opinion.

I've gotta agree here. Mame32 screws with your registry, which very well could be your problem considring the wierd file properties you are getting.
