**FIXED** I have an issue trying to run WinIpac.

It used to work - I have a config set up that was working fine (as a test).
I tore everything down to finish the cab, put it back together. I went to reconfigure and now when I try to run WinIpac it looks like it loads and runs, however no window comes up. It is in the taskbar and task manager, and the IPAC IS working (with my programmed config). At first I thought the window was off the screen, but there is no "move" option.

Using:
Win 7 64-bit
IPAC2

I tried uninstalling, disconnecting the IPAC and rebooting, then reinstalling and it still has same issue.

Anyone ever encounter this? Is there some registry entry somewhere that may need deleted?

Have you set WinIpac to run as Admin?

Yes, that wasn't the issue. Resolved it by going in and deleting every registry entry.

n/m maybe I should just go to bed :)

Ok new problem. This one is kinda odd.

So, everything works great for awhile, but after 4-5 games, at the end of a game (after losing the last ball) the keys quit working. Everything you press just gives a "click" sound in the speakers. This is the same for the IPAC buttons and an actual keyboard. Unplugged them both, reconnected, and same thing. Reboot, and it's fine for another 4-5 games, then repeat. ?? No clue what this would be caused by...

per the "click" sound, my first idea would be a bad ground loop somewhere maybe? Granted this is mostly in cars, but i've seen many many bad grounding situations that induced odd noises into a system.
