Help with desktop mode and b2s not staying on top (I know...)

[Megghi]

I'm a bit reluctant to bring this up again after all the threads I could find online, but still I have no solution.

I have EVERYTHING installed and set up and updated (server, dmd, vpx, etc)

 

I have checked the options:

- vpx in window mode (fullscreen res set)

- b2s as exe / form to top

- dmddevice stayontop = true

 

BUT

 

No matter what, the table seems to start (it renders) and for a brief moment I can see the b2s backglass on top of it all, BUT as soon as the lights on the table turn on, it just disappears behind the vpx player window.

 

At this point I really don't know what to do.

 

(Suffice to say I'm in desktop mode 1 monitor only).

 

Thank you very much everybody.

and your vpx is only the DX version- NOT the GL? GL acts like exclusive fullscreen even if prefs set to windowed.

Ah damn I never thought of that, trying the DX version right away.

Just a question, I see only the developer version as non-GL is that correct? (stable release)

 

Thank you very very very much

Found it, got the main minimal zip for stable release (prerelease had xinput problems for me)
