ActiveX cannot create FlexDMD object error, how to solve?

[LeanderQuest]

Hi!

I only have this problem with JP's IT Pinball Madness and The Goonies. When loading the table in VPX, I get the error that ActiveX cannot create a FlexDMD object. How can I solve this? FlexDMD is in the Vpinmame folder.

Do I need to load the plugin? Where and how?

I saw an entry in dmddevice.ini:

"; put your plugins here, up to 10 plugins can be defined.
; since they are native plugins, you need to define them
; for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
;plugin.0.path =
;plugin.0.path64 =
;plugin.0.passthrough = false
; a DMD that renders with nice dots on a computer monitor
[virtualdmd]
enabled = true"

Do I need to set something here?

Thank you! I checked the DMD.exe file and both FlexDMD and UltraDMD were not successfully registered...don't know why...they were yesterday.

Thank you LeanderQuest for asking this question.

Thank you Tikimaster for the reference to the fix. 

Worked for me, almost tearing my hair out, (*why!?), after upgrade to vpx10.74 & 10.8.

p.s. for others, remember to reboot, I lost dof in first table test before a full shutdown & reboot.
