I will see what I can find out with event viewer. I have a 750watt PSU and just added a second video card. (it was freezing before this too) Also, just did a fresh windows install. This is really starting to annoy me. Also, I made sure all power saving modes where turned off.

I keep having a random freezing issue. Most likely a hardware issue but I'm not sure what. When the cab is running it runs great. But sometimes, randomly the whole pc will freeze as seen in the attached video. What could the issue be? RAM? etc? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xydh30NZ9yU&feature=youtu.be

I have a problem. I have FutureDMD installed in my future pinball directory. I have it sized and in the right position on the 3rd screen. It starts with the game but it does not display anything on the dmd matrix. What could be the problem?? Thanks **EDIT** Ok, so I found that futureDMD works on my Tron table and one other. But most tables nothing shows up on the DMD. I don't understand what the problem is.

I thought I turned off all power saving modes, but I will double check. Thanks.

My pinballx cab runs great when I'm playing games, but when I leave it idle for a while it will freeze. Sometimes after 10 mins, sometimes after 30+ minutes, totally random. It seems to only do this when its in demo mode after being idle for a while. I'm thinking its most likely a hardware issue and not a software problem. But where to start looking?? The PC has an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 cpu, 4gb ram, GTX460 video card that is driving the playfield and backbox. (GTX 260 coming in mail to drive backbox and dmd screens). Thanks

Ok, well just for $hits and giggles I did increase the pagefile size. And I also updated the video drivers, even though the driver I had was only a few months old. Anyway, it's been running in demo mode now for over 30 minutes without a freeze. We'll see if it makes it over an hour, but so far so good!

Ok, so according to that link. The error I found is benign. Do you think increasing my pagefile amount would make any difference?

I only found one recurring error Log name- Application Source- WMI Event ID- 10 Level- Error User- N/A OpCode- Info Task Category- None Keywords- Classic Event filter with query "SELECT" FROM_InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "WIN32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage >99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

I'll get a copy of the log file, but I don't think it will show anything. Also, I need to clarify, the whole computer freezes, not just the program. I then need to restart the computer.

So my setup works 100% when playing games. My only issue is that when I leave the pinball machine alone to go into demo mode, after about 10-15 minutes in demo mode it always seems to freeze. Could this be a memory issue, video issue, etc? I currently have the one video card running the playfield and backbox. I am getting a 2nd card to run the backbox monitor and DMD screen separately. Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB DDR3 1333mhz Nvidia GTX 460 1GB Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10,000RPM Windows 7 64-bit

Yeah, it was a fun time! Should be even better next year. I live on the west side but I work off Ft. Caroline rd.

Ok, will do. Draco, I see your in Jacksonville. I am too. Did you go to the pinball expo they just had at UNF?

My "Medieval Madness" Pinballx cab. It's about 85% complete. The DMD screen is installed, but not working yet.

Registered and it still will not allow me to access downloads.....

Got it working perfect now, thanks!

Well one problem I did find, is that it doesnt seem to be closing PFX2 when I exit a table in PBX. If I play a few PFX2 tables then close PBX, I have several PFX2 processes running in the background. Like it is just pausing the game and minimizing PFX2 when it exits a table. Tom- Do you have a link to the version that has the orientation setting? Thanks

Ok, I got the Jukebox running in Pinballx. But my question is how do you navigate it with the pinball buttons??

***FIXED*** I just took the last line in that script "Run, c:\iRotate\iRotate.exe /1:rotate=0 /exit,,UseErrorLevel" and made a "ClosePFX" script which I put in the LaunchAfter section of the settings for Pinball FX2 in the Pinballx setup. Works like a champ now! And if it wasn't obvious, you need to have iRotate installed. Just make sure the lines where iRotate is at, is set to the right location of the install.

Well there is the problem.... I have the Windows version.... But I did partially get it working. I created the following AHK script, which I complied to make an EXE which I used in Pinballx to launch Pinball FX2. When a table is selected in PBX it launches fine and the screen rotates accordingly, but when I exit the table. The screen does not rotate back and PBX is now rotated wrong. Though outside of Pinballx the script with launch Pinball FX2 fine and rotate the screen back when I close it. I'm guessing there is a conflict somewhere between PBX and the Pinball FX2 script??? Run, c:\iRotate\iRotate.exe /1:rotate=90 /exit,,UseErrorLevel Sleep, 1000 Run, "c:\Games\Pinball FX2\Pinball FX2.exe" -applaunch 226980,,UseErrorLevel Sleep, 7000 ;let steam launch pinball fx2 before poll for it to close WinActivate, Pinball FX2 WinShow, Pinball FX2 Sleep, 1000 WinActivate, Pinball FX2 Process, WaitClose, Pinball FX2.exe Run, c:\iRotate\iRotate.exe /1:rotate=0 /exit,,UseErrorLevel

I got PBFX2 running good, but how do I get it to play in Portrait mode like the VP and FP tables? Thanks

I have Windows XP on my cab. Pinballx runs great but whenever I exit a table it closes PBX and goes to the desktop. But when I take that same hard drive and run PBX on a Win7 computer it exits the table back to PBX like it is suppose to. What could be the problem??
