I think EE desrves the win. We have a set rule and I think we should abide by it. As for it taking a few days to get the next GOTM rolling, is fine as well. You are doing this in your free time and whenever you can do it is fine with us(I am speaking on behalf of the whole community...because I can) Nice win EE!

Ugh...time ran out for me. Going to Colts game tonight so no more time. Congrats to the winner. Good 2 month contest this time around!

Looks like it was the "running in administrator mode" That option has been setup for a lonjg time. So I wonder if the latest update caused isue with that setting. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I might have spoke too soon. Let me do some more testing.

Damn it! I knew someone would sneak in at the end :). Nice score...i am not done yet!

I have PBX set to Compatbilty Mode for Windows 7...which I think i have had since the original setup days. Turned Compatibilty mode off...no change If I click mouse on screen it does continue on with no freeze.

interestingly enough when I do Alt+Tab and go through the open windows there is NO error. But if I get it back to Visual Pinball in the list...THE GAME PLAYS FINE! If I close out of the table and re-open the issue comes back and needs the alt+tab agian to keep playing. But once I do the ALT+Tab for that table, in that session it seems to play fine. No idea

I really don't know why the front end would cause any issues since it works fine in the actual VP application. Blowing my mind

just tried reinstalling PBX...same issue.

what do these say in yours? [Text]Line1=Johnny 5 Pinball ExperienceLine2=Press Start to Pick Your Table Such a strtch but this is the only thing besides some PXFX2 changes i made.

Also tried you suggested changes...same result. So odd

Tried PBX Lite and I cannot even insert a coin before it freezes...ug

This is setup for a cabinet. In case that matters? I have .NET 4.6.1 installed I'll try lite and see what that does. The only thing I can remember that is different is my monitors used to be DVI. And for the time being one is DVI and the other is HDMI. Any weirdness with that? Seems like it would not be.

Would be such a great picture...if you couldn't see the power cable!

I have 2.36 as well. PBFX2 works perfectly fine.

Yeah...Forest is good at this game. Remember when you could only get like 100k

Also tested on vpmod and vpx...same issue inside of PinballX. But plays fine in those respective Visual Pinball .exe I did recently update my PBX...could that be it?

Made the change you suggested...same issue with table.

Again...Table plays fine in Visual Pinball itself. I played it for about 30 minutes after I saw the issue inside on PBX.

I just fired it up again and chose not to hit anything but enter to launch the ball. It kicked around on the table (NBA Fastbreak) for about 10 seconds withoutn any interaction from me and it stopped again. Audio continues to play...and I saw no window popup from VP. Hit ESC and it goes back to PBX table list. 22:53:12.8 8/20/2017: PinballX - Version 2.36 22:53:12.8 8/20/2017: Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 64-bit (7.9GB) 22:53:12.8 8/20/2017: Loading Settings 22:53:12.8 8/20/2017: Initialize Component 22:53:12.9 8/20/2017: Initialize Display 22:53:13.0 8/20/2017: Loading PlugIns 22:53:13.1 8/20/2017: Created DirectX BackGlass Window 22:53:13.2 8/20/2017: Created DirectX DMD Window 22:53:13.3 8/20/2017: Hiding Cursor 22:53:13.3 8/20/2017: Hiding Taskbar 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: GPU 1: AMD Radeon (TM) R7 370 Series 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: Displays: 2 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: Loading Font 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: Load Game List 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: Loading Database: Pinball FX2 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: Loading Database: Visual Pinball 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: Loading Database: VP Physics Mod 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: Loading Database: VPX 22:53:13.4 8/20/2017: Loading Database: UltraDMD 22:53:13.5 8/20/2017: Finding and matching artwork and videos 22:53:15.2 8/20/2017: Loading Game Statistics and Scores 22:53:15.5 8/20/2017: Loading Surfaces 22:53:15.7 8/20/2017: Finished Loading Surfaces 22:53:15.7 8/20/2017: Initialize Audio 22:53:15.7 8/20/2017: Set Keyboard Controls 22:53:15.8 8/20/2017: Initialize Joystick 22:53:15.9 8/20/2017: No Joysticks Attached 22:53:15.9 8/20/2017: Started 22:53:39.1 8/20/2017: Launch System 22:53:39.1 8/20/2017: Waiting for threads 22:53:39.1 8/20/2017: Disposing display 22:53:40.6 8/20/2017: Writing ScreenRes.txt 22:53:40.6 8/20/2017: C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\VPinball990.exe /play -"C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\Tables\NBA-Fastbreak_VP915_FS.vpt" 22:53:40.6 8/20/2017: C:\PinballX\vpauto.exe 22:53:47.6 8/20/2017: Hidden Visual Pinball Editor Window 22:54:21.9 8/20/2017: Exit System Control Pressed 22:54:27.1 8/20/2017: Created DirectX BackGlass Window 22:54:27.1 8/20/2017: Created DirectX DMD Window 22:54:30.5 8/20/2017: Exiting 22:54:30.7 8/20/2017: Showing Taskbar 22:54:30.7 8/20/2017: Unhiding Mouse Cursor 22:54:30.7 8/20/2017: Disposing Plugins 22:54:30.7 8/20/2017: Saving Settings 22:54:30.7 8/20/2017: Waiting for Online Thread 22:54:31.4 8/20/2017: Bye

Hello, Hadnt played Visual Pinball in awhile since my cab is tucked away...but just fired up the PC that has everything and was giving it a go when I found when I play a table in PBX it stops responding, well the ball stoips moving, flippers, etc...but audio continues to play. Thought it was Visual Pinball but the same table plays fine. any ideas? Noticed a "Hidden Window" message in the log but not sure what it meas as I never see anything come up when I use VP. Also every once and awhile when it does freeze I see like a Mame(i know this isnt mame ) type option window come up...some maybe I am hitting something that is wanting to make a change...by why only in PBX...and why now when it has been wokring for at least a year, fine. 22:47:15.9 8/20/2017: PinballX - Version 2.36 22:47:16.0 8/20/2017: Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 64-bit (7.9GB) 22:47:16.0 8/20/2017: Loading Settings 22:47:16.0 8/20/2017: Initialize Component 22:47:16.0 8/20/2017: Initialize Display 22:47:16.1 8/20/2017: Loading PlugIns 22:47:16.2 8/20/2017: Created DirectX BackGlass Window 22:47:16.3 8/20/2017: Created DirectX DMD Window 22:47:16.4 8/20/2017: Hiding Cursor 22:47:16.4 8/20/2017: Hiding Taskbar 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: GPU 1: AMD Radeon (TM) R7 370 Series 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Displays: 2 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Loading Font 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Load Game List 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Loading Database: Pinball FX2 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Loading Database: Visual Pinball 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Loading Database: VP Physics Mod 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Loading Database: VPX 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Loading Database: UltraDMD 22:47:16.5 8/20/2017: Finding and matching artwork and videos 22:47:18.3 8/20/2017: Loading Game Statistics and Scores 22:47:18.6 8/20/2017: Loading Surfaces 22:47:18.8 8/20/2017: Finished Loading Surfaces 22:47:18.8 8/20/2017: Initialize Audio 22:47:18.9 8/20/2017: Set Keyboard Controls 22:47:18.9 8/20/2017: Initialize Joystick 22:47:19.0 8/20/2017: No Joysticks Attached 22:47:19.0 8/20/2017: Started 22:47:22.1 8/20/2017: Launch System 22:47:22.1 8/20/2017: Waiting for threads 22:47:22.1 8/20/2017: Disposing display 22:47:23.6 8/20/2017: Writing ScreenRes.txt 22:47:23.6 8/20/2017: C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\VPinball990.exe /play -"C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\Tables\NBA-Fastbreak_VP915_FS.vpt" 22:47:23.7 8/20/2017: C:\PinballX\vpauto.exe 22:47:30.3 8/20/2017: Hidden Visual Pinball Editor Window 22:48:08.0 8/20/2017: Exit System Control Pressed 22:48:13.1 8/20/2017: Created DirectX BackGlass Window 22:48:13.2 8/20/2017: Created DirectX DMD Window 22:48:18.4 8/20/2017: Exiting 22:48:18.6 8/20/2017: Showing Taskbar 22:48:18.6 8/20/2017: Unhiding Mouse Cursor 22:48:18.7 8/20/2017: Disposing Plugins 22:48:18.7 8/20/2017: Saving Settings 22:48:18.7 8/20/2017: Waiting for Online Thread 22:48:19.6 8/20/2017: Bye Solution
