Playing 3D Pinball Game In Vista

When I made the switch over to Vista from XP, I noticed that the 3D Pinball game was no longer available. I guess Microsoft thought that 3D Pinball was not a popular game. But for those of us who enjoyed playing pinball, there is a way to add the game to Vista.

First you will need to copy the 3D Pinball game from a XP machine. The game is located in the folder:

C:Program Files\Windows NT

Next you will need to copy the folder over to the below folder in Vista:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games

Now open the Pinball folder at C:Program Files\Microsoft Games and locate the file called pinball.exe

Right click the pinball.exe file and drag it to the Games folder in the Start menu and choose copy here.

That’s all there is to it. Enjoy.
