Black screen

[Kato 101]

I am a noob and need help. All my tables are working fine within Pinball X, but when I exit my Future Pinball tables both my backglass and playfield go black. I am only using the 2 displays.  I have to ctrl alt del and kill 2 pinball x and 1 backglass apps to get out. This goes out to my desktop. All other VP9 tables exit to the PBX wheels with no issue. I am currently running Windows 7 and Future Pinball is running Bam through fploader (in compatibility mode to see load screens). I tried without Bam and with compatibility mode turned off with same results. Any ideas much appreciated! TY.

Posted in wrong forum, but i'm sure a kindly moderator will move it to the general forum for you.

Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files (after running and trying to exit FP). Thanks.

"and kill 2 pinball x and 1 backglass apps" is interesting... can you also give any more info on those (process names or screenshot).

Please attach the files (copy and paste leads to lots of scrolling in the thread).

[Mike_da_Spike]

Pbx version 3.28 is used.

Update to newer version . I know that Tom fixed display issues in later releases

[scutters]

64bit too. Install the latest version, but don't select 64 bit during  the install to avoid potential for unexpected issues.

Let us know if that resolves the problem, if not post back and attach new copies of ini and log files (don't paste the contents into the thread!). 

[Kato 101]

Installed latest version,but the 32 bit will not open at all. Reinstalled 64 bit and get same result as before. Files attached this time Thanks for the help!!!!

PinballX.ini log.txt

[Mike_da_Spike]

Do you have pbx running as admin ? 

[Tom Speirs]

Pretty sure your command line is wrong for BAM. Although cant recall exactly what you need /STAYINRAM or similar and remove /ARCADERENDER. This comes up quite a lot.

Also you are launching notepad.exe. You've turned on launch before, launch after.

[Kato 101]

STAYINRAM Worked!!!! /open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit /arcaderender/STAYINRAM

Thank you all, this is awesome. I can now continue getting all the tables and artwork. Made my weekend!
