VBA 1.8.0 not working

[garfunk]

I try to open VBA but it doesn't open. What's going on?

Also, any older versions of VBA I've had previously will open in a blank screen but my mouse will be an hourglass and I can't do anything in it. Help is appreciated!

What do you mean by wont open, explain in more detail. Post screen shots if you can please.

im assuming hes having the same problem as i am, when we open the vba program it will open fine but when trying to run a game it will freeze and either go totally white or black after about 10 seconds then a unresponsive program error will come up when attempting to close it

[DudeJustDoIT]

Is it a particular game your having problems with or is it any game?

[hftw]

this happens with all the games i have tried

[DudeJustDoIT]

have you tried re-downloading the emulator or mabe use a diff emulator.

ive redownloaded this version and tried an older version, i have also tried it with the boycott advance emulator, while this one doesnt freeze on me it doesnt load a game

just tried batgba and no$gba, no$gba has same effect as vba, batgba has same effect as boycott

Ok im thinking the problem may be that you do not have the newest version of DirectX try downloading DirectX and see if that helps you.

ok, i have latest version of dx9 because i play cod2 on my off time, i messed with the render methods and with direct3d and gdi i got a loaded battery message at the bottom then it will freeze just like b4, just thought that might help you guys know whats wrong
