 +====== Helping with Focus Issues ======
 +
 +All front-ends have to deal with trying make a 'nice' launch for an emulator and keeping the emulator in keyboard focus.
 +
 +Due to windows secruity (malware). Windows prevents an app from moving or forcing a certain window because malware could abuse that.
 +
 +So certain different 'tricks' are found… most work, some don't for all emulators.
 +
 +This method here should be done as a last attempt if the other 'normal' tricks don't work.
 +
 +first, if you don't have Popper v1.4.1 or newer, grab the latest vpxstarter.exe here and place/overwrite in the LAUNCH sub-folder of pinupsystem.
 +
 +[[https://www.nailbuster.com/pinupdates/VPXStarter_v14_1.zip|https://www.nailbuster.com/pinupdates/VPXStarter_v14_1.zip]]
 +
 +for VPX sample, change your vpxstarter in launch script like this:
 +<code>
 +
 +START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 30 10 60 "Visual Pinball Player" 3 0 5
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +you can increase the 3 value up to 10 or more if it still doesn't help.
