It may not, but I use it, and I see neither the desktop nor the taskbar.

Well, I used Howard's wrapper and it worked for me.

The only problem is, the smallest sized pinmame scoreboard overlay is too big / takes up to much space when you play vpinball at 540x288 (which I am on my pc with arcadeVGA card)... have to try to fix this...

That's what the sizing options are for in the wrapper.  Set it to like 75% or so.

Did all that... started with % of screen, then % of scoreboard area, then absolute pixel size.

There seems to be an absolute minimum pixel size for the PinMAME scoreboard and unfortunately this is still too big for a 640x288 display...

That's why I'm waiting on the thread I started to see what other ArcadeVGA owners have done. My gut feeling at this point: VPinball is for those who went the LCD / pc monitor route with higher res. ArcadeVGA owners probably gave up which is where I may end up...

Well I wasn't gonna say it, but yeah, pretty much. 

The minimum resolution for visual pinball is really 640x480.  You might want to try 640x480 interlaced for tables.... it might be a tad flickery, but it should still look better.
