Hello, I am a total noob at this so please be patient with me. I have worked my way through some issues of getting VPX to work. I used the all in 1 installer and followed the guide. So, right now here are my problems.
 
1) When the table tries to load a window pops up called Table Options Menu and when I move my mouse pointer over that area my pointer disappears, anyone know how to fix this? I will to to attach picture to show this.
 
2) Also I have the rom in the rom folder where it belongs and I get 2 other windows that pop up. 1 says the rom is missing and the other says it is terminated. Can anyone help with this as well? I will also try to attach pictures for this as well.
 
Thank you for any help you can provide.

 

Well I am not that proficient with forums, and I cannot figure out how to attach files to this, I am not finding an icon to attach files.

Post a picture of your VP video settings
The only way I know that the mouse hides is if you have force Exclusive fullscreen mode checked in VP video settings

To post a Picture - At the bottom right there should be more reply options
Then at the bottom there should be a Browse
Or at the top there should be VPF image hosting

well i tried with vpf image host and loaded the pic and clicked on upload dont know if it will work or not, but i did restart everything and reinstalled vpx and all the files that go with it and now its working, i dont know what i did different but its working, the only problem im having now is trying to figure out how to get the table sized so i can see the playfield and top or backglass? and the dmd is to big, i tried changing numbers in the file but thats not working either, also when i get roms, how do i know which rom is the one i need without trying to run the table without the rom?

 

am i suppose to post the link to pics?
