whats going on , i can load any table w/ vpx, but when using pinballx , randomly when selecting a table, it locks up the entire pc , cant even control, shift , escape, have to totally shut off pc and restart, what a pain any ideas of whats happening thanks

finally my pc is ready every table working and uploaded to the frontload, have studied and solved every problem except when trying to import media files nothing will import, I really don't understand why its not pulling the media , any help , would like to figure this out so I can spend some time /w the wife and kids and not have to manually download and place all the media in the folders, any clues why its not pulling media thanks ps I am a subscriber and just looked and the media is online , it is just painfull to do manually, why cant it pull the media???

ok, so I made a separate visual pinballx media folder and copied all the files I had previously downloaded and they are working correctly, but now when I try to download additional visual pinball x media it is not downloading to either folder

thanks think I figured it out all the tables from my tables folder downloaded in vp9 mgr so had to delete them, now the only prob is trying to inport into vpin 10 the media, its finding nothing????

so here is what I think is up, I loadedtales of the arab knights, and twilight zone both vp x tables but it seems they are trying to load w/ vpin 9 through the front end pinball x, my thought or question is how does the front load pinball x know when to start a game in vpx exe or vpin 9 exe, I think that's whats up since all tables for 9 and x are in the same folder but all work perfectly until I use the frontloader, thanks john

I set up visual pinball 9 in the "visual pinball" setting , then vpx in "other systems" setup. When I load a vpx table it will crash and in the help settings the system shows its trying to load thru vpin9. Opposite happens with some of the vpin9 tables - it will try to load through vpx. All tables are in one folder, works outside of Pinball x but does not seem to work inside. Any help would be greatly appreciated
