Its not about re-installing, its about updating. (If you mean update to 64bit)
You need to update every component, you use. Visual Pinball, VPinmame, Backglassserver, DMDext, etc. In most cases you copy over files and click register. Its not witchcraft..

Open the page, sit back and watch the nice video smaug made. Then, watch it again. 🙂 Get all the files you need and update.. (Backup first)

If you mean update to 10.8 in 32bit, - just download the zip extract, unblock the files and copy over the files.

en ce qui concerne les positions des dmd il faut faire une copie de ce que j'ai? et pour les pov aussi? ou il faut reparamétrer chaque table?

Just did this last week, from 10.7 to 10.8.

My advise and what I did:  do it step_by_step.

If you need a newer version of the B2S server: install that first and make sure it works with 10.7.

Same if you use it with DOF, Freezy etc.

All these programs: get the latest version and test it with 10.7

Then if all works, install 10.8 (32) and see if that works. (it's not really installing: just unzip and put the files where they belong)

If that works...install 64 bit which might need some tweaks here/there to have everything to work.

See YT way of the wrench, he has also some nice video's, you will learn what to do.

10.8 uses *.ini files to save the table settings. It can read the old PoV files, if you change settings, a tablename.ini will be added to the table directory. By default you do not have to change anything on the tables. Take a screenshot of your key settings, they may be lost when you update to 10.8. With a screenshot of the old settings, you can quickly reconfigure them. 

10.8 utilise des fichiers *.ini pour enregistrer les paramètres de la table. Il peut lire les anciens fichiers PoV, si tu modifies des paramètres, un fichier tablename.ini est placé dans le répertoire des tables. Par défaut, tu n'as rien à changer dans les tables. Fais une capture d'écran de tes paramètres clés, ils peuvent être perdus lors de la mise à jour vers 10.8. Avec une capture d'écran des anciens réglages, tu as rapidement reconfiguré cela.

Hi team. I have updated to 10.8, but many of the tables now don't show the playfield lights (ie - the ones that highlight where to aim, or what stage you're on etc).  I've tried everything to solve this, but keep drawing blanks. As soon as I roll back to 10.7 it all works again, but then can't run the latest tables. Any advice?
