Right here goes, down loaded mfme and got the roms and layouts in but it takes ages to load then hangs when you choose a fruit machine.... I have read round the forum and updated the ac97 thingy to 4.06 and also updated direct x to from 8 to 9, I am runing XP. But still the problem persists.... Just for a test I restarted windows in safe mode and MFME seemed to work so I am guessing its some sort of software clash but not sure what.... any tips out there?
