You have to run the "Update List" menu item.

There must be something simple your doing wrong. Go to Start->Programs->GameEx->Setup Wizard->Custom->Basic Mame Settings then click the [...] browse button next to "Mame Path" and select your Mame folder. Hopefully it should fill in the rest of the paths for you. If you have a ROM folder somewhere else browse for that next. Then try an update.
