Hi folks, I'm a newbie here and this is my first post (Hi!). Firstly thanks for PinballX, it's really cool. I set up vpinball and pinballx on a 3 screen setup and everything worked perfectly with: 43" UHD LG TV for the playfield (set to 1920x1080 until I get a better graphics card) 32" 2560x1440 viewsonic monitor for the backglass an old 15" LCD monitor for the DMD My monitors are setup L to R for playfield,BG,DMD in windows10, aligned at the top, 100% scaling with the appropriate resolutions, all good. The various screens are destined for a cab but at the moment they festoon my dining room :). My problem started when I had to replace my BG monitor due to dead pixels. I swapped it for an LG 32" 1920x1080 TV, and adjusted all the settings and everything is now almost perfect as before, EXCEPT that now when I select Play in pinballx, the screen that shows while vpinballx loads up (with white LOADING graphic on a black background) appears on the backglass monitor - sideways of course, since it should be on the playfield monitor. During this time the desktop is displayed on the playfield monitor. Nothing I can do changes this. What I have tried: Deleting registry settings for monitor setup and re-adding the screens one by one (I comprehensively purged the registry) Deleting and reinstalling pinballx Reinstalling the graphics card drivers Changing the monitor layout to be vertically stacked (with appropriate cfg adjustments) Turning off CEC on the BG LG monitor Using the mouse to focus the LOADING screen and pressing shift-windows-cursor_left which does successfully move it onto the playfield, but it doesn't stick and next time pinballx is started it is as before. As 6. but alt-F4 to quit the program after moving it Changing every setting there is, both via the setup wizards and hand-editing the cfg files Starting pinballx in windowed mode, with a view to dragging the window onto the playfield. When I do this I get a null pointer exception in the logs (or rather the CLR style "reference is not set to an object" exception). There is no traceback or anything else useful in there. everything else I always launch PinballX from the main monitor but the grey and blue PinballX splash screen (and LOADING screen) always now show on the backglass monitor. I know people like to see ini and log files but believe me, I have changed the ini file at least 70 times in the last two weeks so any submission would just be the ini du jour. What I would like to know is, what controls which monitor the LOADING screen appears on? Thanks for any advice!

Hey guys ! A friend of mine is experiencing problems with his monitor. It's showing small vertical stripes and when scrolling a white page the screen has a light greenish color. The videocard driver is up-to-date > I have also re-installed the drivers.....so, maybe a problem with the monitor itself ? Unfotunately I can't hook up another monitor right away. I just thought...let me ask you guys Here's a screen shot...I hope the stripes are visible... What do you guys think ? Does the video card have to be replaced or is the monitor broke....? Anyway, thank you for any help you can offer !
