Windows 95 and XP had included a pinball game that I enjoyed but it isn't
included with Vista. How can I legally acquire that,? Would it work in
Vista? - Randy

Hi,

It was in my install of Ultimate. Type pinball into the start box, see if it
shows up.

Not in my copy of Ultimate either. Your suggestion only lists the two posts.

Well, that is very curious. Mine is RTM, Ultimate x64, and is a clean
install (no chance of a carryover from an upgrade). Though it's not in the
start menu, pinball is most definitely on the machine under "C:\Program
Files\Windows NT\Pinball\PINBALL.EXE".

Interesting. I also have a clean install of RTM Ultimate X64 DVD purchased
from Microsoft. No such file on my system. Also very odd that they would
have made a 64-bit version, otherwise it should be in Program Files (86).

All the games on my machine are native 64-bit (in Task Manager) and in
Microsoft Games folder of Program Files.

Hmmm...mine is x86 Ultimate. I searched for pinball.exe - taint there.
Also looked under "Turn Windows features on or off" and it's not listed
under games.

I'm jealous...lol
