I am setting up the pinup popper again after a accidental wipe.
Found a backup and loaded everything I could onto the new HDD.

But coming into an issue where I position the screens accordingly but when I click on the backglass screen or position it onto that, it keeps defaulting back into the play field screen. no matter what I do.

I run a 4 screen setup .

The rest of the screens are correct.

Anything I can do to get from going onto the play field screen?

I run left to right 3,1,2,4
backglass, playfield, topper, dmd

So your backglass is showing up on the Playfield screen?
Have you tried setting the 5th number down, in your screenres.txt file to 3?
This 5th number down in your screenres.txt file, is what screen is used for backglass.
 
When I do configure for pinup. I drag that backglass screen to the proper possition.
Click exit or ok, and it moves to the playfield main monitor screen no matter what I do.
Even quick display select thinks that display one and 2 are the playfield.

I believe the screenres.txt file should be in same folder as your tables?

Sorry about the weird angles. This is what it is doing.
it keeps defaulting the backglass to the playfield
Had to do a zip file since it keeps saying video is corrupt.

I am not seeing a video.
Find your screenres.txt file and change the 5th number from 1 to 3.
Screenres.txt file will either be in your tables folder, or visual pinball folder.

The screenres template looks like that, the screenres.txt file does not. It just has numbers.
I did copy the template onto the screenres file and backglass goes onto topper, playfield goes onto backglass. May take some settings tinkering

And PINUP did not change.
 
I went thought and re-installed everything. I think its all sorted now.

    @ejrcooney Try right clicking on backglass with mouse pointer, and you should see B2S DMD Visibility setting at top of window.
