Duxxxx Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Hey all... im on windows 10 pro 64bit. Tried the latest version of MFME - Won't run (no message). Tried v19, same. Installed directx_Jun2010_redist - MFME still won't run. Not much to go on but has anyone had a similar problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davep180 Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Sadly I'm no pc expert. I've never had any problems running the software. Hopefully someone else may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxxxx Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Yeah i'm gutted. I like to think of myself as pretty computer savvy but this has me stumped... Edited September 18, 2023 by Duxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 When you open MFME, do you see it running on your taskbar but just no window visible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 If you do get the taskbar icon showing then try this: Open MFME, wait for it to be visible on the taskbar. Click on the MFME taskbar icon. Then press ALT and SPACE together, a small window will pop up, click on the Maximise option. Alternatively try the Move option and hold down either left or right arrow keys and see if it comes into view. If this fails then try this: Open Regedit Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CJW] In that key you will see an MFME key. Just right click on it and chose delete. If this fails, then try this: Navigate to the location of the MFME.exe, normally this is C:\Program Files\MFME or maybe C:\Program Files (x86)\MFME. In this location you will find a separate executable called Update.exe. Try double clicking on this file and it should open a small update window. If not, then this could be the issue. In that case try renaming Update.exe to Update.old. Then re-try loading MFME. If none of this works then I am out of ideas for now sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altharic Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Wonder if it's worth right clicking the mfme.exe and running as admin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I run it, it shows up momentarily in Task Manager. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no difference. Tried V19 and tries to update but says there is an error. No joy running as admin either. Thanks for the ideas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Anything in Event Viewer logs after it disappears from Task Manager ? try temporarily renaming the MFME.exe to FRUIT.exe Are you on a laptop with integrated and dedicated GPUs ? If so, try amending the way they work. E.g always run from dedicated/discrete or vice versa. Also if you have a way to add profiles for individual .exes try creating ones for MFME.exe.

Well i now know there's an event viewer log . Happens the same if i rename the .exe . I've also allowed it through the firewall. I'm on a desktop with a GTX 750 Ti card. Not sure what a new profile would do as i run as admin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memyselfandi Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Download the sysinternals suite and then run Process Monitor, then run MFME and put in a filter in Process Monitor to just show MFME see what its doing. If its not showing, then run it again, see if it appears in the filter. It should show you what its trying to do as it starts up. If it opens then closes you'll see it in the trace and it hopefully will show why its closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectra666 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Did you rename the mfme app to say mfme v19 if so it won’t run I did this when it first came out, leave the file name as is. maybe someone could PM you a fresh copy then you could delete yours and reinstall it. have you had any other mfme emulators running?

memyselfandi Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Just read you say it shows up briefly in task manager. This will be a good one for Process Monitor then as it will show up in PM and show you what it was doing as it crashed. It could be an access denied issue that's not flagging up correctly. I'll load mine and watch what its doing. One thing I did note, when it runs it talks to and seems to send data to fruitemu.co.uk It creates this in the reg. Can you see that?
