Delay after exiting MAME

For some reason, after exiting MAME there's a 30 second or more delay of blank screen before Hyperspin returns.

I'm running only MAME .149, the latest Hyperspin version, LEDBlinky (only to automatically set the digital restriction mode on the 49-way joys with GPWiz-49s), and the Hyperspin Startup Script (was the only way I could get the joysticks to work in Hyperspin consistently).

When running MAME from a command prompt, there's no exit delay.

Any suggestions?

For the record, what appears to have fixed this is changing the Windows mode from Hidden to Normal in HyperHQ.  I'd made some other changes in the mame.ini file in MAME so it might've been one of those, but I don't think so.  I haven't bothered to switch back to confirm this was the fix.

Now I've got an issue with a couple of keystrokes for MAME commands (like P for pause, and F7) take me out of MAME and back to Hyperspin, while leaving the MAME game running in the background.  I can alt-tab back to to the game, but don't want to have to do that since this is a cabinet and want to stash the keyboard.  Most other MAME commands, like Tab, F3, F11, and others don't cause this problem.  My guess is that it's a Windows thing...

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not using Rocketlauncher.  Should I be?  Other than this problem, everything seems to be working well, and MAME is the only emulator I'll be using.  

But you're mention of "script" reminded me that I'm using the Hyperspin Startup Script, so I might revisit that and see if that has anything to do with it.

Windows settings-->System-->Focus Assist-->All OFF

I forgot to mention that I'm using Windows 7, and I don't think there's a Focus Assist setting.
