[RESOLVED] Few VPX tables not working after update PBX 6.57

[Re-Creator600]

Hello, after i have updated PinballX to the latest version 6.57, few of my tables "crash"
( The A-TEam, Power Rangers, Pirates Life, Superman-JusticeLeague, Deadpool)
Loading with backglass, editor is showing for a brief moment, music starts..and.. back  it goes to PinballX menu 
i have tried a few option that i found on the web.-no result-
most of the tabels  (in VPX) are working with out any problems
i must note that The A-Team worked but in game (via PinballX) i changed the size of the DMD  after that it didn't start any more ...
what could cause this behaviour?

Thanks in advance, 
Boudewijn

*To eliminate confusion:
i am aware
- PBX - PinballX FrontEnd (latest version)
- VPX - Virtual Pinball 10 (latest version)

The only pattern to tables that you are having issues with is that i think they all use FlexDMD (or XDMD if flexdmd isn't installed).

Do you have FlexDMD installed? (https://github.com/vbousquet/flexdmd/releases), install instructions are here

If you do have flexdmd installed in your c:\visual pinball\vpinmame folder can you run flexdmdui.exe and post a screenshot of what that shows?

(it's strange that the tables open ok outside pinballx , but it's possible not having flexdmd installed and registered is the underlying issue)

thnx for reply, last days i had some issues with dmd's , some times 3 different one's showing up, no clue where to find the file with the install from these (external-) dmd's but i will try to follow your advice in the up comming days.
strange a bit because i know for sure that the "running"tables also use the external dmd's, but like what you said about flexdmd i have to sort it out first.
thnx!

@scutters
screenshot, but indeed i must update flex

Please try the Register flexdmd to be used instead of UltraDMD option (bottom right button in your screenshot),  UltraDMD uses XDMD so an issue with XDMD could be the cause and using FlexDMD instead may resolve it

i will Unregister Ultradmd.
but i know now for sure that the problem was in Video settings in VPX.
i have selected "Windowed" (because i was adjusting something)
when i started the tables in PinballX, everything works fine!
 

sorry for the trouble , big thanks for your help.
problem SOLVED
