desktop shown instead of backglass before launching first table

[luger81]

As the title says, when I first launch PinballX, it shows my desktop instead of backglass before launching the first table. Any suggestions?

(I attached my .ini)

Note: I should mention that the backglass shows up in PBX when I exit the first table.

PinballX.ini

Attach your log.txt file.

does it do it for all tables when you launch pbx, or is the same table showing up every time you launch pbx.  try loading a different table, then exiting pbx, restart and see if still wont load you backglass

It never used to happen but on first launch of PBX it doesn't show a backglass image (png etc.). I have even Alt+Tab to see if the backglass is running (it's not). After I open a table and exit it, the backglass is there when scrolling through tables and when I Alt+Tab after launching a table the backglass shows (on the correct monitor).

are you using b2s or static images from the images folder?

B2S

make this false and see if that makes a difference.

 

AutoPositionB2S=True

also why is your playfield and backglass set to the same monitor?

If I move either one then they won't display on the correct ones at all. Monitor 1, Rotate=270 = playfield. I tried to move the backglass to Monitor 2 but it didn't show on the correct one either.

I only have a 2 monitor setup.

With these settings, the playfield is on the correct monitor but the backglass is behind it (in PinballX only) but when loading a table it puts it on the correct screen. This is definitely a PinballX issue but I don't know where to go from here to make it correct on first launch. Also, I tried AutoPositionB2S=False but it didn't make a difference.

unplug your backglass, boot into vpx, then shut down, plug it back in and reboot.

registry display settings may be messed up.
