MS Pinball Arcade - will it run in XP?

[Tom]

Subject says it all - back of case says Win 95/98/NT 4... I gotta assume
that it will install and work (since it would for NT), but thought I had
better ask before I opened it.

You may need Compatibility Mode for it to run, Tom, but it should be fine.
Check out Compatibility in Help and Support. There's also fairly good
information here:

If the program balks at installing, you can also follow the steps described
on the installation itself by going to Start/Run/Browse with the CD in the
drive, then locating the install.exe or setup.exe file on the root and
right-clicking it for the same Compatibility Mode procedures.
