  • Try and fail, but don't fail to try
 I am running VP 9.9 on my pin cabinet build. I have visual pinball working with full screen and b2s tables. the problem is I can only get 1020 by 764 windowed full screen resolution to work and fill the screen. I have a new fast computer that should run VP at a lot higher resolution. Can I manually change the resolution to 1920 x 1080 ? Would I have to change setting for each table or change it for all tables? On the screen res doc where you set up b2s, does this change the screen resolution. I can set resolution to 1920 x 1080 on older versions of visual pinball without a hitch.I posted this a few days ago on vpforums but I haven't got much help.There are some really smart people that use this forum and I was hoping you guys could help.

What front end are you using?  (Hyperpin, PinballX, etc.)

I'm running pinballx, but it did it before I installed pinballx. The screen shot from below is from my desktop This machine is a windows 7 machine. My cabinet is a windows 8 machine, which makes me think it is a windows  8 issue

You are launching from the play field monitor, right?

It was my understanding that it only shows the available resolutions from windows.   So, what resolutions show in your windows display settings?
