Calamity:
So which one is the issue actually? Mame not finding roms/chds or that other error message when reading video registry? BTW which Windows version are you testing?

lettuce:
It appears to be both, but have just downloaded some more roms and these work so i think it might be old rom version that are the problem not mame?  Im running win7 64bit

Yeah probably win7 uses a different registry path for the video settings, so it fails when trying to access the hardcoded one, we'll need to fix that, or at least deal with that error as for the case of non ati cards it wouldn't be needed to read the registry anyway.

Gray_Area:
So is it a hardware/bios 'lockout' with Nvidia cards that allows only 32 modes?

It's actually a limitation of their drivers, which can only take up to 32 custom timings. You can define more than 32 custom modes indeed, but not the required custom timings for them.
