PinKitty

OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. Motherboard is msi z87-g41 PCMate. CPU is i5 3.5 GHz. Have 8GB of RAM. Graphics card is GeForce GTX 760.

I was wondering about that. Maybe it was as simple as reordering displays. Could you tell me what order yours are in? Right now I have display # 1 is tables, display #2 is backglass, and display #3 is DMD. Should I switch these relationships around?

I am running a 3-monitor system and using PinballX as my frontend. I have PinballX set to it automatically launches when I turn the computer on and Windows starts up. Problem I am having is that when the system first boots up, the displays are all mixed up. I get the Playfield on the backglass monitor, the Backglass on the DMD monitor, and the Playfield monitor (my main display) shows the windows desktop. Then....when I ignore all this mixed up mess, and proceed to hit the key to launch table, it loads the table and like magic it displays everything as expected - table on Playfield main display monitor, Backglass on backglass monitor and DMD on DMD monitor. From there I exit the game, and PinballX acts like it is supposed to. My system will behave normally as I enter and exit tables all day long. But when shut down the system and turn the computer back on again...AAAARRRGGG! The mixed up mess appears on my displays again. Any one else had and solved this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? Help from community is appreciated.

I have a Visual Pinball cabinet setup running just fine on Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3. I also have HyperPin working as a front end. Have had this system for a few years now and all has been well. Then I heard about PinballX, saw it on a friends machine and thought it was great. So I just did a new install PinballX 2.14.... BUT, no matter what I do I can't get PinballX to launch. I get a Runtime Error (see my other post Runtime Error on New PinballX Install). So it got me wondering if PinballX can be run on Windows XP. Is it compatible? Anybody out there got the latest PinballX running on WindowsXP? Maybe I need an older version of PinballX with the Shark codecs? Any ideas or advice? Most instructions and posts are geared toward Windows 7 - understandable, but I really like my system and would love to have PinballX on it.

Are there any particular settings in the LAV Filter Menus that should be checked or unchecked? I pretty much just installed the defaults. I don't know much about codecs, so I don't know how to fine to video or audio settings. I uninstalled and reinstalled the LAV Filter x86 version 0.68. I noticed that three of the components default as checked during the install: LAV Splitter (x86), LAV Audio (x86), and LAV Video (x86) However, one of the components defaults to an unchecked state: H.264 MVC 3D Decoder (extra download). Since I went with the defaults, not knowing any better, I left the H.264 MVC Decoder unchecked and it did not install. Do I need the H.264 MVC Decoder for Pinball X?

I installed the LAV Filters x86. Are these the correct ones for PinballX 2.14? Do you happen to have a link to the correct ones for XP 32-bit, then I can reinstall?

I have Visual Pinball up and running on my system. I installed the latest version of PinballX 2.14 onto my system. My operating system is Windows XP 32-bit. I followed the user guide to set the table paths up correctly using the setup wizard by launching settings.exe. When I launch PinballX.exe, it shows the wheel and tables briefly, then a Runtime Error pops up. It reads... Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program: c:\PinballX\PinballX.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. However, when I disable Visual Pinball in the setup wizard, then the PinballX skeleton appears, with 0 tables, and NO Runtime Error. I don't know what is causing the error. Please advise.
