Building my first cab and lovin it, made a million mistakes so far and figured most out using these threads.  Thanks a ton for everyone's help setting these games up and discussing each issue.  One nemesis remains that I haven't found the answer I need yet.  Please help if you can.

I have PBX running with both VPX and VPT tables enabled at this time.  PBX scrolls through all the games fine and loads up both types and plays great.  Exiting VPT tables works fine as well, it just pops back to the wheel to select the next table.  When trying to exit a VPX table however, the only way to exit the game is to hit "Q" and close the VPX game.  I can then hit ALT TAB and it will load back up PBX to select another table.  I've read a ton of threads where people map a different key and resolve the issue, but I've tried em all with no luck. 

PBXRecorder also will not exit correctly (like VPT tables) after recording the vids on VPX tables.  The game stays running after the video is captured until you click the tray icon and close all screens.

Is there a setting I need to check for VPX that allows the game to close down or back out properly?  I had 10.4 running and this issue, just loaded the 10.5 stuff and it's still happening.

I apologize if the "fix" has been written somewhere and I missed it, please help here or direct me to a thread that addresses the issue I'm having.

Thanks a bunch!

Checked it and I wasn't running as admin, but that didn't fix the problem.  VPT tables back right out to PBX, and VPX tables still require me to hit Q and close VPX then it will reload PBX.

Please let me know any other thoughts, I'll try Anything!

Thanks!

You may want to attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files when reporting an error to the files can be reviewed.

Ok, here's the log, can't find the INI file though...  Let me know where it's at and I can post it as well.  The log shows below where I started PBX, opened South Park VPT and exited right back to PBX.  I then opened South Park VPX and it would not exit back to PBX.  I had to hit the Q button and it went to the VPX screen, I hit ALT TAB and it then loaded back up PBX.  I then loaded Space Invaders VPX and had to do the same process.  Finally I loaded Star Trek 25th VPT table and could back right out to PBX like I think It should work....  Such a simple thing it seems like, hopefully someone can see what I'm missing from the log below.  Once again, any help appreciated!  Thanks!

I think this might be the INI file, ( C:\Pinballx\Config ), hopefully somebody can see where I went wrong! 

Thanks
