You best bet is to open a command-prompt and try to start MAME manually. Versions 0.118 or later should have a built in menu you can select the game from, provided you have your rompath set correctly (which it sounds like is fine since you are running 1941).

Type "mame (gamename)" ("mame pacman", "mame gauntlet", etc) at the command-prompt when you are in your MAME folder. If they work, your front-end is at fault and you should consult the author.
