[Wild Willy]

I love your program other than I cant figure out my monitors order that is not recognized within the PinBall X  program even though both windows 10 pro and Nav video card are both correct as the display number. so the quick fix which is not the correct one,  I need to change my main monitor #1 within PinBall X set up screen to monitor 2 and monitor 2 to 1 for it to work. I must be missing something simple please help if you can.

Thank you

Are you saying that your setup is working, but just that the numbers in screen setup don't match what you see in other programs or are you saying you can't get your screens setup in pinballx at all?

Please attach your pinballx.ini file (from the pinballx\config folder) and a screenshot of your windows screen setup.

Thanks

just so you know it's not possible to change internal numbering of windows displays for example in screen settings. and not all programs will use same number as windows, sometimes you have to try and see what works. That said it is possible to change master / default display and drag / drop displays around but the nr will never change . So in short it's perfactably possible you have to use different display numbers compared to windows settings internal display nr and in fact with pinball stuff it will happen in most programs depending on what nr's windows assigned to your screens

Thank you very much. The root of my issue is not the window system but the PinballX over riding both my windows and video card settings. My system Is set up as monitor 1= My Playfield screen and monitor2 =back glass and dmd. PinballX reassigns these windows set monitors. So within the program my Playfield has to= monitor 2 and back glass/dmd = monitor 1 could it be a .ini file?

as said before it's perfectably normal that you sometimes have to use different monitor numbers compared to windows or videocard monitor numbers. There is nothing wrong with it i have todo it also with b2s program. Everything is working fine if you select them in different order don't focus on those monitor numbers if you got it working now. Those monitor numbers in windows and video card settings are meaningless a lot of programs loop over the monitors and assign first one found to display 1 second one to display 2 etc and this could mean the numbers don't match, you'll get it with other programs as well and there is nothing you can do about it

Thank  you very much for your help. I will somehow just have to live with it not matching my system parameters. Lol.
