Sounds like it is not running the correct commandline (or romname) for some reason.  Have a look in mamewah.log and see what is going on...post it here if you need a hand.

8/5/2008 3:53:36 PM Commandline run: C:\Arcade\Mame\mame.exe {flags=210}

You are right, this line indicates no rom name is being sent.

The default \config\mame\mame.ini file is preset to an extend, but the relevant line should look as follows:

emulator_commandline                      c:\arcade\mame\mame.exe [name]{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}

YEAH! I found out that I had {noodoslaunch} so I fixed the extra O part and everything is ok! OH one quick question I have a very old computer that orignally had windows me on it. It has 64 mb of ram and a Nvidia TNT 2 graphics card. And noticed that on some games like Donkey Kong, The sound has a skipping and echo effect. How do I fix that, Is it because my ram is to low and its having trouble with the frame rate because I was conisidering puting in 512 mb more into the ram?

Might be your processor. Try using an older version of Mame. Like mame 0.55.
