I'm running Future Pinball on a cab setup with 2 monitors. The backglass on tables used to just work on my second monitor, which is in landscape orientation. The screen would fill and I had no troubles. Suddenly it stopped working, and backglasses appear off to the side, mostly hidden from view. I've tried every FP setting I can find, I've repositioned the monitors in Win10, and tried the Scroll Lock translite settings to resize and reposition the backglass. My second monitor's desktop is still visible and the Scroll Lock technique looks like it's just sliding the backglass under the desktop. I did a fresh install and erased the registry keys for Future Pinball and that made the position of the backglass appear in the right spot, but the sizing was off. Changing the resolution got me back into the same bad positioning problem, and returning to the original resolution didn't help. It's almost as if FP is not telling Win10 to change the resolution appropriately and FP ends up thinking the monitor borders aren't where they really are. The Widescreen option is only available for my playfield monitor, not the backglass monitor. Anyone have an idea on how to correct this?

Are you running BAM? You can reset the backglasses in it IIRC.

Not using BAM, just trying to get the tables to work in the standard mode. It all seems to work if I clear out the registry and never touch the 2nd monitor settings. I have to move my backglasses around with the Scroll Lock function - one of my tables got tweaked so bad it was showing the gameroom poster as the backglass!

Ravarcade created a combined installer for both Future Pinball and BAM. It installs both programs at the same time. It also updates both programs with the most current version.  You can install them separately but this installer will ensure both programs are correctly set up and is recommended:

BAM is becoming more than just an add-on.  There are an increasing number of tables that require it in order to play the tables.  

 

I created 2 guides that might help.  This one if for FP:

This one is for BAM:

As George said you really owe it to yourself to install BAM. I would not play FP without it. Every new FP table I install gets adjusted because they are normally too narrow on my playfield monitor. BAM easily widens them. I also like to tilt the tables and then scale them back a bit.

 

It also sets the backglass properly.

I'm having the same problem since upgrading to win10, even using bam. My playfield table goes into to my backglass no matter what I do. Any ideas? Thanks
