yeah the pinball is the one I'm after. How do I get it?


my guess is to used the add/remove programs and when it prompts for the cd I just put in the win2k cd...is this right? and it should overwrite the games file already on the HD?

faramir u have mail

this should be the easiest way

just unzip the folder and run the game

i think that its included in the cabs on the CD and therefor cant be copied to the HDD

Is this the MS Pinball Arcade your talking about? I've had the demo on my Win98 comp forever...

thx skywalker... it works great!! other than the Swedish language...lol. I tried to copy from the win2k cd and you were right, it didn't work. I searched for the files that it was prompting me for and I couldn't find them anywhere on the cd.

Also...I think that the pinball is the same version as whats in Win95 Plus and maybe Win98 Plus, though i've never seen that cd before, but I may be wrong. thanks again...

windows pinball came with win95 Plus first. Man..I remember when that came out. i played that NONSTOP!! i LOVEd it! then it came with NT (i think?) and not with 98. That game is awesome. I also love Spider and some of the other MS cardgames
