I know this isn't vpforums whatever, but I DID Google this and...well, honestly I don't know what anyone is talking about. I don't know Windows very well, and it's kinda over my head, but I need help.
I have a Virtual Pinball cabinet running two monitors. It worked great for several months, then lost the plot. The playfield is fine, but the backglass is now compressed in attract mode, with a large black space on the bottom part of the monitor where the DMD and Speaker art typically go. So, it looks like the DMD is just GONE. I checked the resolution in 'Display' and NVIDA and Display seems to be ok, but NVIDA is wrong. When I put in the right resolution, it just makes the DMD area a little shorter, but still nothing there. I put it back to normal size. Running FuturePinball, it 'works'. In visual pinball, no dice. The DMD is higher, like over the backglass.
For example:
- Running Scared Stuff, DMD half over the backglass, half in the black area with no speaker art. Backglass is a weird size too, as you can see ANOTHER version of the same backglass behind the backglass sticking out on the side. Playfield is fine, works fine otherwise.
- Running Black Knight, Backglass is a static image. No scoring displays anywhere. There is also the full screen playfield running fine, but on top of that is a little like 50% sized static image of the playfield art.
- Running Jacks To Open, similar to the Scared Stiff issue, but the STATIC backglass is on top, so you can see the score displays. Playfield is fine.
It's like its just shuffling the images in the wrong order. I'm not sure where to fix this. In HyperPin, the monitors are correct and the resolutions are correct. FuturePin works so something is working, and I'll say attract mode on all games works 'good enough' (the DMD area is still blacked out). I'm pretty confused. Any help is appreciated. 'That's not real pinball' comments not appreciated. Thanks!
