Hi,

I understand you.

For me is also being hard to understand what is happening. At first I had thought that the program was stopping right after it starts. But is not it.

The program starts, the interface appears and when I press a key it stops responding and finally crashes. I only find this out yesterday.

I not sure if I have the SP1 of MSVC++ 2010  installed. I will check and install it today, at night.

The keydown event of mainwindow has a "try-catch" block ?

I checked the event log and could see that some exception occurs in Keydown event. At this point, I ran the application and waited. The application showed the interface and became active. I waited a moment longer. Still active. Finally I pressed a key. At that moment the application crashed.

Ok..could you try with that version...there's indeed a few try/catch block inside ;-)

The full error:

The given key was not present in the dictionary.

System.Collections.Generic.Keynotfoundexception "The given key was not present in the dictionary.

at System.Collection.Generic.Dictionary2.get_Item(TKey key)
at mGalaxy.MainWindow.MainWindow_KeyDown(Object sender,
KeyEventArgs keyData) in C:\Users\imd_000\Desktop\TryCatcherrors\TestWPF\MainWindow.xaml.vbline 215

I tried to upload the image with the error, but the server says the "upload folder is full - contact administrator".

Please let me know when the upload folder is empty to I upload the image with the error.

I also installed the MSVC2010 SP1, but always get this error.

I was wondering why you first got a first type of error (file write authorization)...then another type of error (keypress error)!
I now understand what's happening: while trying to help you, I've sent you "special" versions of mGalaxy...but based on the last version (not yet out) I'm working on.
Yet this version is including new key based settings !!

So, we are to start again from the beginning ;-)
Chances are that all you've updated from the beginning (Framework,..) has resolved your problem (I hope so ;-) )...so let's begin by this: would you please un-install mGalaxy, then install it with the installer I join here!?

http://www.mgalaxy.com/other/mGalaxy_Setup.exe

If you get an error, we'll always start from that version you are going to install, you'll have to drop "special" versions that might follow in that folder.

Sorry for the delay.

Finally !

Now is working, the program is giving no exception.

Is opening and remained stable in all machines !

I also tested some emulators, like Sega Genesis Kega Fusion, Stella for Atari 2600. I´m trying to test MESS for Atari 5200.

Set up various emulators today. Not all yet, but I will one by one . This machine Intel NUC will be a gaming machine with the mGalaxy Front End.

You will provide some new setup program ?
