Mame not loading....

I'm pulling my hair out here.  Not sure what happened.  I'm currently running Mame 0.237.  Had no issues for months.  Recently, I go to load a Mame game through Launchbox and my PC processes for a minute and never loads the game.  I am able to go in Mame and load the games just fine no issues.  All my other games and emulators work without a problem.  I don't remember changing anything that wouldn't allow the games to run.  I removed the arcade platform and reinitialized the Mame wizard thinking that would solve the issue but to no avail.  Any help or suggestions on this would greatly be appreciated.  I'll send what ever screen shots would help.  Thanks in advance!

Can you provide a screenshot of the Details screen for you MAME emulator please.  ToolsManageEmulators, select you MAME emulator (I trust there's only one listed).  Make sure you're pointing to the correct mame.exe if you happen to multiple installs (it happens, on purpose and by accident ;)).

I figured it out.  The "Extract ROM archives before running" box was checked under the Details screen.  I never checked it.  I'm not sure if a LaunchBox update caused that box to be checked.  It was very strange.  Once I unchecked that box, everything worked as normal.
