Hey there, Sorry i have not responded earlier but i cannot test your fix anymore because i updated to win8.1 since then :-) I hope someone else on XP can test that new fix of yours... As a note to other people still running a cab on XP: Windows 8.1 fixed a lot of problems right out of the box i had with VP / PinballX running on XP. My cab runs much smoother now as well (getting stable 60fps on nearly all Tables where it was ~30-45fps on XP). So I encourage everyone on XP to upgrade to 7 or 8.1 ;-)

Hey thanks for your answer! I have analyzed the problem some more and found/created a fix (that works for me at least). The problem seems to be related to switching between the VP process and PinballX. I found if i ALT+TAB to another process right after pressing ESC (Exit) in VP, and only after a few seconds ALT+TAB back to PinballX, it does not crash. So i wrote a small program that does just that and set it as exit-application for VP. So if i exit from a table, my program gets started and sets windows focus to explorer and after one second maximizes PinballX again. No more crashes in two days testing ;-) I hope you will find a real fix one day though cheers, dr.james

Hey there! I'm new to this whole PinballX community and first of want to thank all of you for your great work! It has made building my pincab quite an enjoyable experience :-) I have one problem right now though: PinballX crashes back to desktop (without message) each time when i exit a table from visual pinball. This only happens on my pincab-pc (Equipped with Windows XP 32Bit, C2D E4500@2,2GHz, 1GB Radeon HD4870, 2GB RAM). I have atached a recent log file, but the documented error is always the same: 13:35:52.9 03.09.2014: Exit System Control Pressed13:35:55.4 03.09.2014: Error.
