missing pinball

[hobey19]

hey guys, working on a computer that does not have pinball. it is installed and the link is there for it, but when i click on it, nothing happens. the window opens like it is gonna play, the logo is there, but it just closes the window. running xp, just ran avg and ad-aware, removed everything (no viruses). help is appreciated

does it play all the other games ok?
and does the system meet or exceede the mimium system requirements for xp

all other games are just fine, and it more than exceeds the sys req. o, and within the games listing, there is a PF file with pinball in it. i have not idea why it is there, or what it is for.

thanks

is there a way to reload pinball? i thought i remembered seeing a post a while ago about someone reloading hearts, but i can't seem to find it. thanks

Go to controlPanel>AddRemovePrograms, then click there on the side where it says add remove windows components.. In there you'll find the games and can add or remove them as needed...

yeah, i went in there but i don't remember seeing games. i could have missed it though. and i did find the hearts topic, so i was wondering if there is a way to just copy the file from my computer and put it on hers. possible? thanks

It's under accesories right at the top of the add remove windows components, so U jsut need to go 1 level deeper...
Best to add it back this way, so windows knows about it...
