I have Windows 7 on my laptop and VP9 and FP both run fine on it.

My problem is w/ VP9 is that the right flipper default button is right shift. But for some odd reason the right shift button doesn't work but it works in FP. I don't know if this is an issue w/ Windows 7 or is it a laptop issue. But its no problem because I can always reconfigured the button.

So to sum it all up, I haven't really had any issues while running VP9 and FP in the Windows 7 enviroment.

This is a "somewhat" common problem with the right shift key not working in VP. The solution was posted
here
if you're interested in fixing it.


Best Regards,
Todd.

Ok, I've tried to install VP twice now. The latest version works well with the tables it came with. However, if I try to "Open file" the program immediately closes.

Any ideas?

One simple solution might be to try installing it on the virtual machine (XP Mode). I have not tried this but I see no reason why it would not work. My GPS software will not run on Win7, but it runs fine in XP Mode.
I run Win7 Pro and have had no problems at all. I don't know why some have trouble with 7.

Me too.
No problems at all.

Yes, Nvidia is loosing ground.
Now ati in the top in the market.
The problem is VP software, are old for new tecnology !!!!
Ati is more compatible with the game, nvidia have problems with new games in windows 7.
Nvidia costs less because it is inferior in quality, this is all.
I'm sorry because VP is the only emulation software for pinball machine........

Have you tried installing VP on the virtual machine (XP Mode)?
It may not be the best solution, but it may work.

I run Win7 Pro 64 bit. Nvidia 1Gb video Card, 6Gb RAM, 2.66GHz Core2 Duo processor. I have no issues running VP or FP

There is another pinball emulator, Future Pinball. I know many here do not care for it, but there are many of us that like both programs.

Hello, i am italian and i have problem with vp in my windows 7 ultimate, audio and graphic is rallenty and fon't play, that after the "bip sound" after the vp test table.
I have read your info for resolve but don't understand.......... can help me please???
Please.

You have to find the VPinball.exe inside the directory you have installed VP, and then right click on it, go to properties at the bottom of the context menu and choose compatibility tab. There, you must check the box that says: "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose something like Windows XP with SP2 etc...


For me it wasn't necessary though...which Win7 build do you have?

 

 

It plays fine on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit 'without' having to add, alter or select any compatibility mode
