So, more testing and I see where any table with a date of 20* (20xx) is automatically added to a what must be hard coded category of "Modern Tables". I can see this in the PinballX config file after selecting Modern tables in PinballX : filter_year=20*filter_company=filter_custom=filtername=Modern Tables So now I know the category is automatically created if you have tables newer than 2000 in your .xml file. So for my custom category I will need to call it something other than modern. I guess I can mark this RESOLVED unless anyone has more to add. Thanks...

I worked on this a little more and discovered that the Modern Tables menu choice will follow the Default Filters = Yes. If I change to NO the Modern Tables choice no longer appears. So Pinball X is getting this information to tag these tables as Modern, but from where? Anyone have any ideas on where I can look? Thanks...

Thanks Draco1962 for the SS EM definitions. I have looked in both the Game list manager and the Databases path and can find no modern.xml. I just also searched the system registry in case something was written there but no "modern" except for the font? I also changed my browse options to include hidden files just in case something was hidden but nothing. One clue I did notice is that all the tables listed in the "Modern Tables" selection are Stern except for one that is not a listed manufacturer. I took a screen copy of all the database folders to show there is no Modern in any of them. Where else could pinballX be getting this menu item "Modern Tables" with 6 tables listed if not in the \pinballx\databases path? Appreciate any ideas anyone might have on where I might look.

When I open the PinballX menu I have a choice for Modern Tables (See attached pic), and in that menu are 6 tables. I don't understand where that choice is coming from, or how those tables got in there. I have checked under PinballX Databases and see no Modern.XML file in any folder, I have searched the SSD for modern and find no modern.xml file on the drive. I have checked in the game list manager and there is no Modern group and none of the tables have Modern as a manufacturer. Any ideas where this is may be coming from? Early on I had planned to have two groups Classic and Modern, I do see the Classic.XML under Visual Pinball, so I may have created the Modern at some point, but it is not visible in the Game list manager, or in any .XML I can find in the system. Also what does the type mean SS or EM mean? Thanks in advance for any assistance figuring this out.

I have a work around, but do not consider the issue resolved, but I also am not going to spend any more time on it so will mark the thread resolved. I have found that I can have video backglass or video tables in the menu, just not both for the same table. The only time the system seems to through the error is if both table and backglass videos run at the same time. So I will pick one, and simply avoid having both. Sorry to anyone else who might have this issue but I just cant spend any more time on it and will live with the work around. Thanks.

Carny_Priest, The backgless videos come from the PinballX FTP service. I was running the Shark codec pack, but had the same issue so uninstalled it. I eliminated half of the videos today and only tried running with eight of them in place, and it still was causing the error, I took them all out and all was fine!! Next step is to try adding them back one at a time to see what happens with one or two or three etc...
-
Well it ran all night with only the table videos. So this morning I took the backglass monitor and moved it to the GTX760 and turned off the internal Intel Graphics, thinking the internal graphics may be the problem. But not so, as soon as I put the backglass videos back in the system it through the error again, even with the backglass monitor on the GTX and with the internal graphics set to off in the bios. So that eliminates that as the suspect! One other odd thing, the last time it through the error, it was leaving "Line Drive" and bringing up "Abra Ca Dabra" nether has a backglass video! Grrrr....
-
So I tried running attract mode with only the backglass videos in place and no Table videos and it through the error in about 10 minutes. I then reversed the process and had only the table videos and no backglass videos and it ran for over 45 min with no error! So I'm going to let it run this way all night and see if it stay's stable, if it does that points to the backgless videos as the cause. That would be good at least it narrows down the search. I will follow-up tomorrow.

tthurman, thanks for the tips, First time I have tried CCleaner, it looks like a quality utility to have in the tool pouch I did an over the top install of PBX and I ran the registry cleaner, it sure found a lot of issues, I re-installed the .Net Framework 4.5.2, Sadly, I am still having the same problem.... None of the stress test software I have run (Intel, or EVGA) have shown any problems, and I can play all the Pinball tables for hours with no problems. It just seems to be the table and back glass videos in PBX that trigger the error.

Troubleshooting continues: I updated the bios, made sure all Windows updates were installed, changed the main monitor from 3840X1080 HDMI to 1920X1080 VGA, to see it that would make a difference; but still throwing the same "Not Enough Storage to Process this Command" error after about 10-15 min in attract mode with the table and back glass videos in place. I also tested with any other programs such as anti-virus, UltraMon, dual screen management, and VirtuMVP 2.0, disabled, but still the same. I'm running out of ideas!!

Actually it was doing this before I turned on the function logger. I turned it on hoping it would provide a clue to the problem. As far as being caused by a specific table or back glass video, I do not think so. I just put all the videos back in the folders and ran some more tests. I discovered I can create the error by manually cycling between games, (so system need not be in attract mode). I started cycling from game to game every three or four seconds and after five or ten minutes the first indication of a problem was the system started showing the wrong playfield video, or not changing the playfield video, it would start to stall (not react to right left commands), then start working again (like the system was catching up) and after a few more cycles the error appears, and things stop! I did this three times and each time the error appeared it was a different table.

As a test I removed all back glass and table videos leaving only the images for each of the 30 games in the cabinet. The system ran all night in attract mode with no problems. So now I know the "Not enough Space to Process this Command" error is being caused by PBX playing the videos. In addition to increasing the IRPStackSize in the registry to 49 I have also doubled the available swap file space, but doing this had no effect on the problem. If anyone has any ideas on what else I might try to fix this please let me know. Thanks.

A new issue has developed in my build. While in Attract Mode I keep getting the following error "Not Enough Storage is Available to Process this command". I have seen this error on the back glass with the error box header "PinballX Back Glass" and on the playfield with the same error with the error box titled simply PinballX. I was able to capture the full error code from the back glass attached as Not Enough Storage Error. I have also attached my config, log, and plugin logger file. I found a recommendation on Microsoft TechWeb to add and increase IRPStackSize in the registry, I did this, it is now set at decimal 45 (Max is 50). I do not see where this helped. It seems to take place after attract mode has been running 10 to 20 min. I know it is not a HDD issue, I have a 500GB SSD with 400GB free. I have 16GM RAM in the system, so should not be an issue there. The GTX-760 GPU should have plenty, and the Intel Internal GPU is set at the maximum so it should be OK. Any one ever experienced this before? Any ideas I can try to fix it? log.txt Not Enough Storage Error.txt PinballX.ini Logger.txt

nullPointer, no not overclocked. it is a EVGA LGA1150 Intel Z97 MB with a Core i7 4790K 4Ghz processor with 16GB of DDR3 1866 memory with all settings set to default or auto in the BIOS. I thought it was odd how it passed ALL the stress tests I applied, but only failed running f4v files in PBX! I have not noticed any performance issues with turbo turned off. Game play is smooth, and as this is a dedicated PC for the Pinball Cabinet it should be fine.

tthurman, So this is what I did today so far attempting to fix this issue: I remapped my monitors in the BIOS so the GTX760 is the primary "Display 0" and the Intel 4600 is Display 1. So now in PBX Display 1 is the playfield and Display 2 is the backglass. I tested the system with the playfield HDMI at 1080p, but still locks up. I downloaded and installed the latest Intel graphics drivers as well as the EVGA Geforce drivers, I also updated the chipset drivers while I was at it. Also made a backup and re-installed PBX. But it continued to lock up! Well, I got lucky... the last time it locked up it through a BSOD... I did a Blue Screen Dump and was able to determine the CPU cache may be the problem. One suggested fix I found was to turn off the CPU turbo mode. I did this and lo and behold, it seems to be stable with the f4v files running. At least it was OK the last four times I tested it! I'm going to change this to solved unless something changes, Thank you to all who jumped in with advice, it is appreciated.
