Pinball for Vista!!!

Pinchy · Mar 25, 2007, 08:27 AM

Ive done a lot of searching trying to look for and download the Windows XP pinball to put on Vista (A family member REALLY likes it).

I know a lot of people who wanted it as well. So here it is, the XP pinball. Just unzip and off you go

I got the files straight from my XP computer

, and it works fine on Vista.

Should allready be in XP. Just type Pinball into the run box in start menu. I wonder it that will work on Vista, anybody want to try?

Pinchy · Mar 25, 2007, 08:31 AM

Na, Vista didnt come with pinball...it got replaced by some lame game called "ink ball"

Wile E · Mar 25, 2007, 08:37 AM

It works fine in Vista, Except it changed my theme out of Aero. Only when I went to full screen, but it seemed to change back when I closed it.

Pinchy · Mar 25, 2007, 08:39 AM

It's not on this list of Vista Run commands, but hey Vista is still new. Also you have to enable Run command access , See link;

Thanks, I didn't even know how to get it!

Is there any possibility to change the language of the game, for example to German? Or are the texts like "Awaiting Deployment" and "Hit Mission Targets To Select Mission" Graphics which you can´t edit?

It says the zipped folder is invalid when i try to explore it, and says the zipped folder is empty when i try to extract.
