In Windows XP/SP2 I have a shortcut on my desktop to the file "pinball.exe" located in C:\PPROGRAM FILES\WINDOWS NT\PINBALL but I don't seem to be able to start the game.

When activating pinball.exe, I only see a short flash of the game and then it's gone again.

Any suggestions about how to get the game going?

No, it's the same thing, just a short flash that looks like full screen...
Thanks for your reply
