Since getting my video card back and reinstalled I did a reformat and reinstalled winXP. Copied back over my mame directories (mame37b16 and advance menu), deleted all my configs, ini's, rc files, etc. mame -cc to recreate a new config. Run advancemenu to create a defualt .rc, run it again to create mame.lst. Run it again, which should actually launch the frontend and NOTHING. I get an hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing. Same with advv and advcfg- nothing happens. Mame by itself runs fine- i also tried .53 and .66, as well as mame32
I know it works 'cuz I had it going last time I had XP installed. I don't have anything fancy setup, basically just XP and radeon drivers. My drive is partitioned into 4gb C:(os) and 16gb D:(mame) but I know it works on different drive letters.
I'm stumped
