Tom: I'd been having this exact problem (that I'd discussed in another thread). After upgrading to more recent PinballX versions, PinballX wouldn't start. I have a setup that uses a GTX 650 Ti as the main display adapter and a GT 610 as a secondary adapter (to drive the backglass and DMD monitors). If I disabled the PinballX DMD display and assigned the backglass monitor to something other than "2," PinballX would start but not display the backglass or DMD images. I used your replacement x86 version of PinballX. Now everything works well. Thank you.

THAT is EXACTLY the problem I'm having. I'll move my issues to that thread. Thanks. Tom Spiers' replacement files in this post fixed my problem:

Tom: Thanks for your input. I followed your instructions (deleted flash.ocx from the PinballX folder and then reinstalled v3.34). I got the same results as before: After trying to launch, a black rectangular box opens and then closes on the lefthand side of the screen. No plugins are selected through the plugin manager. I'm attaching my log.txt and pinballx.ini files for your evaluation. Please advise. log.txt PinballX.ini

I always do this. My directory structure includes: C:\PinballX C:\Visual Pinball

Thanks again for your input. I will try what you've recommended. If nothing works, a Windows 10 reinstallation is going to be in my future.

I uninstalled PinballX and deleted my PinballX directory. I did a fresh installation of v3.34. No plugins are installed or selected. When I launch PinballX, I briefly see a rectangular black window box (about 1/8 size of the screen, that opens and disappears) and then nothing. PinballX will not launch. I am attaching my log and pinballx.ini files from this new, clean, nonfunctioning, installation. I appreciate your assistance. log.txt PinballX.ini

I agree. I tried disabling all plug-ins from the plugin manager (no boxes checked). Still wouldn't start up. I'll have to look up how to reinstall .net 4.7 for Win10.

I tried a complete removal of PinballX: Uninstalled program, deleted PinballX directory, rebooted, and then reinstalled. Still wouldn't start up. I will post the .ini if the "from scratch" installation for your review. Thanks.

I had not used PinballX in several weeks while I tried some other front ends. Windows 10 had updated since then. Since around 2014, I cannot recall a Windows update that had broken PinballX. I'll post my pinballx.ini files as soon as I can. Help from you and Draco is appreciated. Thanks.

I am just as stuck. I've run PinballX for a few years. I've upgraded it several times. Now, all of a sudden, PinballX will not even launch. I tried reinstalling v3.32 over my current installation -> no good. I uninstalled PinballX and reinstalled it from scratch (32-bit version by unselecting 64-bit version) -> Not working. I've tried launching with and without the DirectOutput plugin enabled. No difference. According to the Win10 task manager, PinballX (32 bit) is running as a background process, but not as an App. I'm at a complete loss. After several years, and subscribing to the site, it appears that I'm forced to abandon PinballX unless someone can make a suggestion. I'm attaching my last log.txt file. Any help is appreciated. log.txt
