3D Pinball came installed on my new notebook at work, but it only flashes the
start-up screen then stops. I updated the DirectX version, but no luck. I'd
un-install and re-install if I had the disk. Any suggestions?

Hi Jim,

Sounds like you need to update your video driver.
The driver should be available from the laptop manufacturer's website .

Thanks for the reply. I checked the laptop's web site and I have the latest
version of the video driver. Is this a known problem with 3D Pinball?

Hi Jim,

The issue itself is not uncommon with 3D games.
Are you able to play other 3D games on your laptop?
