I'm not going to argue with someone who thinks they are right no matter what evidence your show to the contrary  ::)

mahuti:
Rather than quoting the instructions... try it.

Also some video card manufacturers come with "window management software"  that needs to be disabled.  Nvidia cards are notorious for this. 

Something you need to test is to make sure that visual pinball is "explorer ready".  Double-click on any vpt table from within explorer and make sure it loads properly.  If it doesn't then that's your problem right there.  It is solved by re-installing visual pinball and leaving the install program on your system while launching your first table from within explorer. 

Lastly it shouldn't be locking up.  Try alt-tab on the splash screen to see if it's a focus issue.  If so then it's just one of those odd-ball tables that sets it's own focus.  If it IS locking up then it's almost guaranteed that your problem is the problem above. 

The exit key can be remapped by passing "-keyx scancode" where, scancode is replaced with the vb scancode for your dedicated button.  It's not in the dialog because almost no one uses it.  ;)

My cab went on the fritz and I've had to reinstall everything.  I'm now at the point of getting visual pinball to launch from mamewah, but am having the same issues as some in the past.

I'm able to launch vp by itself, but when using either vp-launch.exe or vp-launch4.0.exe...I too am getting stuck at the "don't do drugs" splash screen.

I checked and do have the install file and the vplcfgs folder in my visual pinball tables folder.

I also have the latest versions of both pinmame and visual pinball.  Again I'm able to launch vp and the tables, just not when using one of these wrappers.

When stuck at the splash screen, pressing alt+tab doesn't seem to do anything, so I don't think it's a focus issue.

I tried this on several tables that launch okay on their own...but I'm still getting stuck on the splash screen when using the wrappers.

I realize this has been covered before, but the only thing I've found in my searches is that people seem to fix the problem by reinstalling everything.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled all files/folders for both pinmame and vp, but am still stuck. ???

Any help would be most appreciated!!
Thanks.
