Weird exit problem

[fireslayer26]

I have Windows XP on my cab. Pinballx runs great but whenever I exit a table it closes PBX and goes to the desktop. But when I take that same hard drive and run PBX on a Win7 computer it exits the table back to PBX like it is suppose to. What could be the problem??

Hi and welcome to the PinballX forums! You may want to read this topic and provide a copy of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files from your Win XP setup as noted. Also, as there ared several diffent programs that host tables, a little information about the emulator you are using and whether or not it is on all tables or a sepcific few. Thanks!

I can confirm seeing this aswell, I had PinballX running under XP64 and just could not get it stable, so never fully converted over from hyperpin.

However my SSD filled up so a bigger one was added along with win7.

My install was copied over from XP with exactly the same settings for everything - even just reimported my reg settings for FP and VP and instantly BAM a rock solid PinballX install!.

I have no clue as to what was going on or why?, but the upside is I am now fully converted to PinballX .

Still have both drives in the cab and to me it seems like VP runs better under XP though.

I have the same problem. Ever since 1.69, I have an old version of 1.69 that i usually go back to, to fix this problem. I didn't know it was related to XP and Win7. I remember seeing this problem coming up before but dont know if the root problem was ever figured out. Every version upgrade I upgrade to see if it is fixed and seems to not be. Is this a DirectX problem between xp and win7? I have updated directX which hasnt fixed anything

WinXP Professional service pack 3

Intel Pentium Dual CPU e2180 @2.00GHz

3.5gb RAM

Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 Driver 6.14.13.3158

128GB SSD

PinDMD2
