PinballX wheel cycling endlessly

[redpiper1]

Hi all, my first time here. Well the other day after letting my 5 year old son play some tables (on my PC and not a cab) I noticed a couple really strange issues. My son was playing Spiderman on Future Pinball launched via the FP loader (Bam) shortcut on my desktop and not the PinballX loader. Anyway I noticed in incredibly nasty echo when he loaded a ball to the plunger. This was followed by a less noticeable echo with every other sound on the table made. I searched all over the various forums and found nothing so I took a shot in the dark and deleted the config.ini from the BAM folder and bingo it stopped. Like I said I got lucky. I know my boy who gets keyboard nuts must have entered a menu while playing and changed something because when I cam back in the room the settings menu was up while the table was running.
Solved I think.

Ok sorry but problem 2. I tried loading PinballX just now and the tables wheel is cycling at 3000 rpm and I can't seem to stop it. I thought the only way to shutdown PBX is to use the task manager because no keybord keys (esc) were working. After Task manager pops up it immediately goes hidden and I'm back to the berserk wheel motion. My only way out of the is I'm afraid a hard reset. Any ideas ? I sent the pinballX config ini to the recycle bin but that didn't do anything. Well it did stop the wheel cycling but when I rotate to a table I want to play I get the load screen and then back to the wheel without the table I chose loading. This wasn't a fix so I sent the config ini in the recycle bin back to the original folder replacing the ini PinballX recreated thus recreating my problem. Any help here would be hugely appreciated. I'm more than likely starting my cab build by the end of the month and wanna get all this c**p straightened out before if possible.

I downloaded PinballX in November 2015 and the version shows as 1.0.0.0

Thanks !

It sounds like a key or button is held down. It could be a problem with the controller in your cab or it could be if your cab has a tilt feature that is is activated.

The actual version of PinballX is found by looking at log.txt but it sounds like you are using an old version and its best to use the latest.

OK it does seem that the keyboard was stuck. A good cleaning did work that issue out but a couple others have come up.\

1: The DMD screens have gone from the familiar orange / red color to GREY in color so not sure what's up with that.}
2: It seems like the ball is sort of running in slow motion. It's not crazy slow but noticeably slower.
3: The echoing sound when a ball is loaded on the plunger is really load and fast.

Any help would be much appreciated. To clear things up a bit I'm not running this in a pinball cabinet yet as I'm still gathering material to build. I'm currently only running Future Pinball and Hyperspin on my desktop

Thanks so much for any help,
Dave

P.S. If you are using an older version than the current 2.12, you will need to download and install that version as support of older versions are deprecated due to bug fixes and enhancements.
