Default having some problems with my Gottleib ROMS

I've been having some problems with my Gottlieb roms recently, and i could use some help. you see, ever since my external hard drive switched it's drive letter from E:/ to G:/ when I installed my new MP3 player, all of the paths in my programs were messed up. Today, I changed the paths in VP-Man and VPinMame and booted up Street Fighter 2. Whenever I would "insert a coin", it wouldn't register on the ROM as a credit. I tried to do the same on another Gottleib pinball machine, Super Mario Bros Mushroom World, and the same thing happened. Could someone please explain to me what has happened and how i can fix it. May I mention that while I was trying to fix said problem, I started getting an error in my sfight2 ROM stating "switch short return 5". what does this mean and how do i fix it? I was fiddling around with the tournament mode option in the ROM when it happened.

The old credits not registering issue... let's see if PN has those NVRAMs here... aha, there they are: http://www.pinballnirvana.com/UpDown...t-lid-684.html

This goes in your NVRAM folder, unzipped of course.

Or read a System 3 manual and do a factory reset.
That should clear things up for you.
You can even change some settings that way.

Thank you very much The McD ! had the same problem with Gottlieb roms (after installing the visual Pinball pack on a laptop), nothing would happen when I would "add coins" and all roms would display "Replay at: 00" I had no idea why.
Solved !
