I am using XP. Somehow I have lost the pinball game. I have looked at the
install/uninstall and am still unable to locate it. I can't find my XP disc
to reinstall. Is there any other way to put it back on my computer. HELP my
kids are going mad without it.

I'd guess it's probably still on the system.

Open up an explorer window (like My Computer) and type C:\Program
Files\Windows NT\Pinball\pinball.exe into the address bar and press
nter. - Note if Windows is installed on a different drive insert that drive
letter instead of C.

If it loads, then all we have to do is create a new shortcut. Right-click
on the desktop (or anywhere you wish to create the shortcut), go down to New
and then select Shortcut. A wizard will pop up and ask you for a location
to point to, in this case the same as above, it'll then ask you to give it a
name Pinball seems quite fitting. 8-)

hi,

I have a related question. Are there any extensions for the pinball game
like for example a new table? And is there an definite end of this game or
can I play one game endlessly ( I can't but I'm sure someone can)?

No, there are no extensions. It is what you see. 8-)

Check out Microsoft Pinball Arcade. It's an oldie but goodie no longer
available from MS, but I've seen it in bargain bins for 10 bucks or so.
