Hey gang!

I'm modding my friend's A1Up to be just like mine, except his is only going to run FX3.

I have an issue, where the first time a ZFX3 table is launched, I get the error: "PinUpDisplay has stopped working" Note that all the media previews work fine upon launch - this error only happens the first time an FX3 table is launched.

Restarting Popper seems to fix it, but that requires a mouse click (to close the program) that won't be possible once it's in the cabinet.

Any suggestions or ideas for what might be causing this? We're using identical hardware (Nvidia GTX950), and I don't get this error on mine

Thanks for any help, and I'll reply with results!

After lots of failed attempts with batch files, etc, I discovered the WONDERFUL AutoHotKey!

I figured out how to fix it in less than an hour. Now, his table will:
1. Start Popper
2. Launch a ZenFX3 table
3. Confirm the error
4. Exit out of the emulator
5. Open PuP Operator menu
5. Restart Popper

AND IT ALL WORKS PERFECTLY FROM THERE.
SO basically, when he turns it on, it will do a bunch of stuff for about 30 seconds, and then everything works just as it should. AutoHotKey is my new favoritest thing ever!

Next, I'm going to set up an AHK script to get past the 'Unable to Sync' problem and leave the cabinet 100% offline!
