Microsoft Pinball Almost Golden in Vista

I got MS PInball running in Vista but I get a nagging VIDS:IV50
decompressor error on startup. Tried installing the Indeo drivers
(5.11) to no effect. Is there an updated driver or other solution for
this nit? Also, I hope MS puts out an update to the game on it's
Ultimate Extra's with some new tables.

You mean Microsoft Pinball Arcade on CDROM?

You mean Pinball as in XP Games? I transferred mine over and it works just
fine.

Re: Microsoft Pinball Almost Golden in Vista

Can someone send me the file for the pinball game? XP was preloaded on my
pc, so i don't have an xp disk. Thanks, John

Re: Microsoft Pinball Almost Golden in Vista

John you can just copy Pinball from XP to Vista and creat a shortcut in the
Start menu. I'll try sending it to you.

Yes, exactly - with the classic boards such as Baffle Ball and Cue
Ball wizard. Anybody else getting the decompressor error on startup?
