MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Exception starting MAME on Win7

Hi all,

I've just re-built the OS on my cabinet and I'm having problems running MAME. I'm getting an exception thrown when it starts.

Here is the output:

Code:


C:\MAME>mame pacman
Proposed video mode not supported on device \\.\DISPLAY1

C:\MAME>

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

I am using the Windows default driver for my video card. Could this be the problem? (It's an old ATI RV100 based card, I'll scrounge around and see if I can find a Win7 driver for it.)
