I have an i5 3.4ghz, radeon r7 370 4GB main gfx, nvidia gt520, 8Gb ram. If i select standard grill with speakers it works, but hidden fails. increased lamptimer no joy. i tried run in both exe and normal mode. And it is not the biggest table or backglass i have running. It seems there only exist one db2s for it, i can't find any else. I'll try the lastest gfx drivers also. just need to backup first.

aha ok. thanks i will try your tips. I don't run any other apps (unless you count winrar, ms antivirus and firefox) on the computer. It is dedicated to only visual pinball. And i have latest gfx drivers and all win7 updates on it.

Monster bash will not open directb2s on second screen when i launch in pinballx (2.14), it's just black and i cant move mousepointer to second screen either. Both table and directb2s is named exactly the same. if i launch the table from the gamemanager or in vp direct it works. What am i doing wrong? All other tables i have tested works (150+) so far..

Yes, the naming thing is really a thing the programmmers should fix, because it gets really frustrating when you have 3,4,5 different versions of the same table installed. I still have BIG problems even after renaming a lot.

On my meny i have the ususal 60s/70s/80s tables subcategorys and most manufacturer menus like /williams/gottlieb/stern, but some manufacturers does not appear, like Sega, data east, zaccaria etc.. and what makes a table wind up in "modern tables" ? Of all 345 tables i have installed only 45 end up in modern tables menu. (ALL tables have manufacturer and year inputed in the gamelist manager. I have 3 categorys working: Visual pinball, VP physmod and VPX And in physmod i have added Indiana Jones both Williams version and Stern Version and both have year inserted, but only the Stern table shows up in "modern tables" menu.

sorry but i dont remember ;( but i can tell you which nvidia prog i still have installed: NVIDIA 3d vision driver 361.75 NVIDIA 3d vision driver 352.65 (styrenhet in swedish) don't know the english name for that NVIDIA graphics driver 361.75 NVIDIA HD audio driver 1.3.34.4 NVIDIA PhysX systemprogram 9.15.0428 I think the first and third are the same just in swedish and english. Don't know why there are 2 instances, This is in the deinstall or change programs in the control panel.

Sigh... fiddled a bit more, it show the correct wheel image in the manager, but now it show playboy 35th anniversay wheel image instead in pinballx.

yeah, but why the f does it when i select an image called "playboy1978" write a new image named as my description and then use that new written file instead of the selected one?? I sit here now with a quadrillion different named files that are the same. Following: gamename: PPlayboy(Bally 1978)FS-1.1 description: Playboy Bally i select a wheel image named "pplayboy" then it creates and use a file named "Playboy Bally" and we are back to not showing the right image because i have table named "playboy Stern". with a wheel image named "playboy stern"

I had problems with random crashes when scrolling through games, but i had not the program above installed ( i have ATI R7 370 as main gfx and a Nvidia GTX520 as second gfx), BUT i had a Nvidia prog that was my problem. I don't remember which it was i uninstalled, i think it was the desktop manager or something. Anyway one of the NVidia softs also makes pinx crash. Now i have no problems anymore.

I have problems with many tables in the gamelist manager regarding naming of mediafiles. For example: the table "ALI" automatically loads the mp3 file for alien poker, and there is no way to get rid of it. I have thought of making an silent mp3 to load for all tables that load wrong mp3. The same is for wheel images, background and table images. If several files begin with the same letters: example i have problems getting Playboy tables to get correct wheel and background/table images. The ones i have problem with is: Playboy stern 2002 and Playboy Bally 1978. It seems that everytime i try to change ex the wheel, it automatically creates a NEW wheel with the same name as my description (table desc) I thought first that the media info is also stored in the table xml, but it is not, so where does the manager store that info?
