Never seen such a thing.  What exactly are you doing when you see that?  Are you seeing that by just double-clicking mame.exe from windows explorer?  If so, your MAME setup is corrupt. Redownload it and install it over your existing build.  If not, what happens when you do double-click mame.exe from windows explorer?

It happens when i launch from both launchbox and windows explorer exe.

Delete the files in your existing MAME folder and manually redownload it from MAMEDev's site and install into that folder.  (or delete the folder and install)  Be sure to download the x64 binary and not the Arm64 build.  Then try starting it from Windows Explorer.

Same result unfortunately.

Make sure your video drivers are up to date.

Open the windows Command Prompt (from your MAME folder) and run "mame.exe -v".  This should give you a verbose output showing you what it's doing and better details about where it's hanging up at.

Same result with the running from cmd "mame.exe -v"

Try downloading an older release of MAME (don't worry about the ROMs, yet).  See if you can at least get it to launch from Windows Explorer or the Windows Command Prompt.  If you can't get it to launch there, it won't launch from LaunchBox.

If you still get that same error, you're going to have to ask the MAME folks about the issue.
