Restore it from the CD.
Click Start, Run. In the Run box, type "msconfig" without the quotes and
press enter. On the "General" tab, click the "Expand File..." button.

File to restore: pinball.inf
Restore from: Point to the Windows XP CD's "I386" folder
Save file in: C:\Windows\inf\

Pictorial on how to restore a file... (Sample is for OE, but you'll see how it's done.)

Boot from your XP CD press r to logon to the recovery console
from the prompt run the following command:

expand d:\i386\pinball.in_ c:\windows\inf\pinball.inf

D: assumes to be your CDROM drive letter, change as nessessary for your
environment

You can download this pinball.zip file which has the necessary files for
running pinball from Kelly's site:
