I have the same problem. Ever since 1.69, I have an old version of 1.69 that i usually go back to, to fix this problem. I didn't know it was related to XP and Win7. I remember seeing this problem coming up before but dont know if the root problem was ever figured out. Every version upgrade I upgrade to see if it is fixed and seems to not be. Is this a DirectX problem between xp and win7? I have updated directX which hasnt fixed anything WinXP Professional service pack 3 Intel Pentium Dual CPU e2180 @2.00GHz 3.5gb RAM Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 Driver 6.14.13.3158 128GB SSD PinDMD2 Here's my log and pinballx.ini

I had the same problem. It was really frustrating because i knew everything worked beforehand. I almost went back to HyperPin. 1.68 fixed all my problems with crashing and DMDs on B2S tabes. Everything works as it use without a hitch. I really appreciate the quick turnaround for updates.

Alright so I Solved the problem. I guess when I tried to get LEDwiz working in PBX with the tutorial on this forum it did something to make the main playfield go black. Last night I just turned off all the Start before lines and I guess those .BAT files did something to cause this problem. At least I have it working again the way it use to, now I just need to go back over that LEDwiz tutorial to get it working in PBX. I appreciate all the help.

Your a genius @imagamejunky .. so playfield is now 1 and backglass is 2 but still have the problem with future pinball.. WTH? I thought for sure that would fix it. FP plays fine by itself but going through PBX no playfield. Maybe ill update my video drivers, Nvidia released new recently. but that always seems to cause more problems with other things.

I'm running winXP .. I can't figure out a way to change the playfield to monitor 1. I guess my Geforce 460 likes to use the DVI slot before the HDMI at startup.

So I switched to PinballX a few months ago and I swear future pinball was working in earlier versions otherwise i probably wouldn't have switched. I must have changed a setting somewhere. Currently I have no way around making my play field (HDMI) monitor 2 and backglass (DVI) monitor 1. When I run FP alone, the tables load right up and no problems. When I load through PinballX the play field shows the loading screen then when it is all loaded up goes black. I can still hear the table running, the backglass shows up. I can use the buttons. Not sure what to do about this. I changed the settings for display in the PinballX settings and playfield goes to the backglass but is usable, main screen stays black.
