Hi csreigada,
If I understand correctly, you're unable to play the game since
the point in time when the game failed to shut down correctly?
If that is the case, you should first try reinstalling the Pinball game.
To add/remove Windows XP Games: Click START / Control Panel /
Add or Remove Programs / Add Remove Windows Components /
Accessories and Utilities / [Details...] / Games / [Details...] / then check
(or uncheck and then recheck) Pinball / Click [OK] 3 times to finish.
It's possible that the Pinball choice is hidden on your system, if so
please advise me and I'll give you the steps to unhide it. Good luck!
