i stripped the "zexy" from the subject-line.

let's have a look.

[pix_buffer]:
there is a minor annoyance, where [pix_buffer_read] (and
[pix_buffer_write]) do a check for an existing [pix_buffer] at creation
time (which is a bad time to check, since the corresponding [pix_buffer]
might be yet non-existant).
usually you can safely ignore this warning.
(however, i was not able to detect any other problems from your error
logs, which does not mean that there are none).

just to make sure: you DO have a PeteSlide.dll in C:/vid/gem-vj/freeframe/?
and Gem has been able to load this dll in previous incarnations?

afaik, Gem for w32 is still just directly pulled from gem.iem.at
(instead of compiled on the autobuild farm); this might still be a
problem with compiler versions and the like...

this has always been like this: [rotateXYZ] either needs no or exactly 3
arguments; try to find out why your patch gives another number of
arguments to this object.

Gem's default font has changed from arial.ttf to vera.ttf for legal reasons.
just copy your old C:/vid/gem-vj/over/arial.ttf to
C:/vid/gem-vj/over/vera.ttf....
