[RESOLVED] Pinball X Pause In Game Issue

[bryhud]

Hi... I am considering making the switch from Hyperpin to pinball x. Install was easy and painless, copied over media files and everything was good.

My issue is coming from trying to exit either FP or VP.

I would like to use the pause / in game button to bring up the menu and select exit from there but when the button is pressed the screen turns black for a dew seconds like it wants to show the screen but never does.... just dumps back to the game.

I am running Windows XP

Below is the log file

I am seeing this message but not quite sure how to fix it

17:22:16.2 4/9/2014: In Game: Error Initializing Display

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
