I did try that both ways . I also tried allow b2s in front end true and false..no change.
I'm finding myself trying the same thing over and over. Thank-you for the suggestions.
it in so odd, with them both set to monitor 1 in the pinballx settings loading a game works perfectly but in the front end no b2s or png backglass or even a blank screen, just the desktop.
If I set the backglass to any other number 2,3,4,5 I can have a png or even a b2s but when I load the table the backglass never loads.
