Download Send to Toys http://gabrieleponti.com/software/ When installing it uncheck everything except command prompt. Once installed right click mame.exe then highlight and click command prompt. Now type configure --cc

Is it not working? Did you try running a game?
Same method as above just type the name of the game instead of configure --cc
example for double dragon: mame.exe ddragon

Looks  fine. I would change
skip_disclaimer         1
skip_gameinfo           1
resolution              640x480 or 800x600
depends what kind of monitor you have since I have a crt. It prevents out of range errors. If you need any more help just ask.



Here is mine for comparison. (i'm using Fastmame)
