I do not use his wrapper.  Instead by keyboard encoder can map all the keypresses required to quit Visual Pinball to the ESC key.

Sorry .... I just found this thread again .... glad you got everything working.

You probably should mention exactly how you solved your problem so others might benefit when the problem happens again in the future. 

Are you still using Howard's wrapper?  Are you using a keyboard encoder?  How did you solve the problem using software?

Hi Unclet, of course, I'll tell you what I did.

I used a program which closes any emulator where is installed, ( Snes, NEs, Genesis, Vpinball) with the key you want ( I use ESC button) it doesn't need any hardware, no keyboard encoder,... only this little program.

Yoy can find it HERE http://clusters.cjb.net/closemul/ it is very easy to config and it works perfectly.

I hope you like it.
