I have a 3 monitor setup and every time I launch a VP9 table through the VP table editor it shows the backglass behind the DMD.

I verified my screenres file and also ran the screenrescheck utility. To see if the screenres file was being honored, I tested it by moving the backglass to the playfield and that worked but for some reason I can't get it to display on the backglass monitor.

1) playfield 1920x1024
2) backglass 1920x1024
3) dmd 1366x768

I might have had this problem for a while and Pinballx may have been correcting it but the latest version of Pinballx isn't doing that. Only in troubleshooting it I realized that it's an issue in Visual Pinball itself.

Thanks,
Dave

Do you have windows task manager open by chance? I found out the other day through very annoying trial and error that task manager being open will put dmd's behind the backglass. Even if task manager is minimized to the toolbar this will still happen. Hopefully this helps. I'd like to to know if it does please. I'm curious if this only affects me.

In screenres.txt you should try backglass monitor values of 1 - 15 until the backglass shows up on  the correct monitor

It wasn't task manager. What Joe suggested worked. Screen 7. Had to then disable autoposition for the backglass in Pinballx otherwise it was resetting it to screen 2.

Appreciate the quick answer! A shame I burnt quite a few hours on this but it is what it is.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Dave
