Question missing pinball

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

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

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...
