Whenever I try to run Gens on my computer, it looks like it's loading, but then it just sits there. Then I have to use Task Manager to shut it off because it's not responding! What do I do to make it run again?

I'm experiencing this too! I have absolutely no clue what has caused it. Yesterday, Gens was running fine. I haven't changed anything. Now today, it does not work at all; it locks up when you try to start it up, just like the OP states. I've tried deleting Gens, trying older versions, and even the derivative Gens+ doesn't work either. I'm using Windows XP SP2 with DirectX 9.0c.

I'd really like to get Gens working again, as I very much prefer it to Kega or Gens32!

It’s likely that your computer has something odd.... run msconfig and deactivate some elements on the start, just be careful of what you deactivate.

May be a config issue. Have you tried removing it from your system completely and doing a fresh install with the latest build?.

Yes, I've tried everything. Gens and Gens+ suffer from this "hanging"/locking up problem, Gens32 locks up (and to be frank I'm not comfortable with using a program created by someone who classes "2.x" as older, revision-wise, than "1.x"). At the moment I'm stuck using Kega Fusion, which I do not enjoy as it doesn't have the right "feel" of playing the Genesis.
