when selecting your games make sure you select the correct file path....not a shortcut. ie. c:/Windows/bla/bla/starcraft.exe
im sorry i cant help you more but let me no how i goes

created new folder named it (windows games)
now i need to put a game launcher in there so
go to C:/Program Files/Starcraft/Starcaftlauncher.exe
now copy that file and place it in your newly created (windows games) folder
open up xbmc go to RCB using the keyboard press the C key a menu should appear go to Edit Rom Collection. Now select windows from the Rom collection and change the Rom path to you newly created file (windows games)
Make sure the Rom file mask is (*.exe) without the ()
once thats all done hit the save config button
press C key one more time click import games. change the Rom collection to windows and click import games
That worked for me i hope that helps

Many thanks!What does it do exactly? Do you get the CApplication error? If so, you could try to use the latest RCB version from the website and enable "Use VB script" option to launch your games in solo mode. Otherwise you should go more into detail about your issue.

It's a small problem but slightly annoying to the look and feel of xbmc. Any ideas?Hmm, I don't think so. XBMC changed the behaviour of loading lists since Eden. I could try to set the viewtype before loading the list but I have in mind that I already tried this and it did not work.

I also find the drop menu to be a bit glitchy ie it keeps jumping up on me or it wont drop at all lolWhat version of XBMC and RCB and what skin are you using?

How much memory do you have and how large are the files? I have no idea if I can optimize the decompressing part. I have to check.Code:File "C:\Users\Dondi\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\script.games.rom.collection.browser\resources\platform_libraries\win32\py7zlib.py", line 534, in _read_from_decompressor
tmp = decompressor.decompress(data, remaining)
