You guys were right. I fired up Mame32 .84 and it worked great. I do not know why Act Labs does not have a simple post about that on there site. I looked for almost a hour B4 I found a link to here.
I could not even find the link to The Troubleshooter again on their site. (I need to get a donation headed to him)
Then the prob. was fixed in under 20 mins. after the post.
Thanks again guys. Hope that I can return the favor some day.
