First thing you need to do is download and install v2.90 - you are 4 versions behind. Next, attach (don't copy & paste) copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files to your reply after you have installed the latest version and if you are still having the same issue.

'Thanks will do tonight ,will post to let you know how I get on.

Thanks

Have updated and set up a few tables, it now does not go to windows desktop but upon loading table it switches to terminator table image and then switches to the table it has loaded.

log.txt

PinballX.ini

[Sgc1]

It does this with all tables I load with different table images and the music carry's on and over rides the table.

Noticed this in the log:

22:48:47.2  15/05/2018:  C:\Users\steve\Desktop\PINBALL\Future Pinball\BAM\FPLoader.exe /open "C:\Users\steve\Desktop\PINBALL\Future Pinball\Tables\Doctor Who BETA.fpt" /play /exit /arcaderender

You might be better off installing Future Pinball and MAME and the rest under "C:\Emulators\Future Pinball" or "C:\Emulators\MAME" instead of under "C:\Users\steve\Desktop\PINBALL\Future Pinball\BAM\" or" C:\- EMULATORS -\- MAME -"

I suggest this for two reasons. First, anything under "Program Files" or "Users" is going to elicit stricter elevation and protection with the OS, expecially Windows 10.  Second, keeping your executibles for your emulated systems (i.e. Visual Pinball, Future Pinball, MAME, etc.) under the same folder naming convention is going to be easier to maintain visually. If you have more storage on another drive, use it for your ROMS, Images, Videos, etc.when possible.

Have done as you have said still same issue image of game pops up just before table loads but music continues playing after table is loaded.

log.txt

PinballX.ini

There does seem to be an issue with your graphics card or driver. I would suggest making sure windows and your drivers are up to date.

[Sgc1]

Checked and updated drivers, still have the same issue.

[Sgc1]

Have done a fresh install of both pinballx and future pinball with Bam and still have the same issue,is there any files that are in the registry from previous installs to delete?

[Tom Speirs]

I think you are missing /STAYINRAM from the command line.

See here:

Thankyou will have a go tonight and let you know.

[Sgc1]

Put the Stayinram in the command line all working now thankyou for the help .
