Visual Pinball

[Ricci]

I know this topic has been discussed, but I was still wondering if VP works with GAMEEX, or is better to be used by itself. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I've got it working.

But the problem is when I quit playing most tables, GameEx vanishes and I am stuck. A control-alt-delete shows that the program is still running but I can't figure out the problem.

Also, when the program doesn't hang and I exit GameEx, a multitude of VPauto icons are residing in my system tray.

I've seen this posted many times before without a definitive answer.

Latest version of GameEx and Pinball installed.

Actually, I think it varies for different people. I and some other posters have reported that their VP setup works fine (virtually) all the time. i.e It loads properly, plays properly and exits back to GameEx properly (with no VPAutos left in the tray). I didn't do anything special in the GameEx config, as far as I know, to achieve this state.

This has worked for me like this for quite a while now. In fact, it's worked on two separate PC installations - 1 old laptop and one new custom built PC. Both run XP SP2 with all updates applied.

My GameEx is 6.31

My Visual Pinball install is version 0.7.7012

My VPinMAME.dll install is version 1.53

Here's my relevant ini section:

Maybe this info will help you track down your problem?
