Hi! I have this problem: When I run the VP or FP program, load the table - everything is working fine, but when I run the table (F5), the program just crashes (  I don`t known the root of this problem. I reinstalled the VP (and FP) and even video drivers (i have nvidia 9600 GT on Win XP SP3) - but nothing has changed. Maybe there is a way to completely remove all traces of the program? Please help me guys :bye2:

Both FP and VP uses VBscript language. Have you tried using command "regsvr32 vbscript.dll"?

first off don't hit F5 the start key is '5' NO F keys at all

try hitting just '5' then '1' to drop coins and start the pin

if it uses a rom then you should hit F3 to 'save' the bookkeeping

 THEN exit vp altogether then reopen vp then load in a table hit play

THEN hit '5' and '1' again

see a rom pin starts up just like a real one does it goes through all the bookkeeping

so hitting F3 saves the pin while still in the play part of the editor

(meaning you don't have to exit back out of the pin to 'save' the bookkeeping settings

Hope this helps

also if using Win7 you must 'run as admin'



damn quick posters well at least you got it working

I know this keys, but the problem was that I could`t even RUN the table (and its run by pressing F5). Anyway, thank you for cooperating, faralos! )

Faralos, Open VP, open a table, press F5. Let us know what happens. :)

when I saw his post I thought he meant he loaded the pin up

THEN hit F5 after it was already loaded

my bad...

First thing to do: make sure you have updated the ROMs and tables, and download the latest nvRAMs and CFG files. Also make sure you have the latest fonts unzipped into C:\WINDOWS\fonts AND the appropriate file in VPinball. If this doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.

Cool, now open a VPM table, press F2 and tell us what it says pressing F3 does. BTW, it restarts the Rom.

Thanks for posting, but I already solve my problem (command "regsvr32 vbscript.dll", post №3)
