I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, but I fixed the problem! I noticed that for a split second just before the error popped up that the Visual Pinball exit screen was popping up. I had read somewhere that you need to disable that function for it to work properly with front-end software. I went into the keys preferences in visual pinball and checked the box to disable the esc key and removed my button assignment from the exit key. So if I ran a table directly from visual pinball I would have no way to exit. When I run any game through PinballX the error is gone and the tables exit smoothly.

Mine does return to PinballX. I open a table and then when I close the table I get a screen that says "Visual Pinball has stopped working" and gives the option to check online for a solution or close the program. This window goes away after about 3 seconds and then returns to PinballX.

Yes. I always change the settings of any executable to "Run as administrator". Stuff like this happens otherwise.

With mine, the mouse cursor in PinballX is where ever it was when I launched the software. Once I open a table in VP9 it centers the cursor in the middle of the playfield monitor. I think there's a problem hiding the cursor in Windows 7 because VP9 can't hide it either.

I've been playing around with this on my system as well. Mine won't hide no matter what I try. I have a dedicated cabinet, so after I'm done with all of my configuration I'll remove all Microsoft and Windows branding, install transparent cursors, and just have it boot directly into PinballX. The cursor will still be there, but it will be invisible. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

No, that didn't make it go away. In fact, the close window box stayed up longer than it did before.
