windows task bar appears while loading tables...

Anyone that had the same problem? Today i made a fresh install of windows 7 and now while pinballx does start visual pinball, the task bar is in front and shows the "new" started program. It does disappear after vp started the table but I did´t had that problem with my old install.

well, i reinstalled windows and visual pinball. I also installed the newest pinballx, but now nothing works it just won't start - i only get a minimized screen animation. I´m very disappointed with the software. Now i will switch back to hyper pin... Have a nice day...

I'm running both my test machine and cab on Win7/PBX and have not seen either of the above issues. You don't really give us a lot to go on, and I'm almost certain at this point in time, the PBX user base is greater then HP. (Note this is not knocking HP, I used it for quite sometime, but it just wasn't being developed)

Now since you stated you reinstalled Win7 I'm assuming it was a fresh install. Did you disable the Win7 UAC? Did you set the VPinball.exe and PinballX.exe to run as admin? Disable aero?

If you're that set with HP, load it up and get it working, then follow the PBX user guide. I wrote it when I was using HP and PBX. It's packed with examples of how to run HP and PBX at the same time without screwing up VP/FP.
