Thalamus Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Two days ago I was playing a game and I had a power outage in the area. When the power came back, pinballx would not launch anymore. It just hangs there with the startup-logo, unresponsive. Task manager -> PinballX and Backglass server, both unresponsive. All tested games work outside PinballX, Game-manager also. Even PinballX Lite, but, well that doesn't show a backglass or PinDMD3 :-( Anyone seen something like this before ? Tried un-installing/re-installing codecs, re-installed PinballX over itself ( same version ). Have after this happened installed the visual pinball all in one for 10.2 and updated to latest SAM. No change. Log has only 9 lines. 09:30:31.6 31.12.2016: PinballX - Version 2.28 09:30:31.6 31.12.2016: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 64-bit (7,9638671875GB) 09:30:31.6 31.12.2016: Loading Settings 09:30:31.6 31.12.2016: Initialize Component 09:30:31.6 31.12.2016: Initialize Display 09:30:32.7 31.12.2016: Loading PlugIns 09:30:32.8 31.12.2016: Created DirectX BackGlass Window 09:30:32.9 31.12.2016: Hiding Cursor 09:30:32.9 31.12.2016: Hiding Taskbar I had a backup of a working setup, that I copied to another folder. Same problem. Is there maybe a debug version that I could get my hands on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carny_Priest Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Try a system restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalamus Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Holy crap - I seem to have fixed it. Looking at the old log from the backup folder I noticed that the next thing it did before was to open the dmd. I found a pindmd.dll in pinballx folder - renamed it to pindmd.dll.off and now the backglass came up. So, copied the pindmd.dll from visual pinball over to pinballx and I'm a happy man again. How this whole thing actually started. Is a mystery to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
