The help screen does not come up when I hit F1 or when I
click Help, Help Topics. Anyone know why?
 
Hi Mike,

Perhaps the help file is missing. To verify if you have the file
click Start / Run / type: C:\WINDOWS\Help\pinball.chm
and if you have the file, the Pinball help menu should pop up.

I moved the file to the Pinball folder but it still does
not show up. Do I need to re-install?

Hi Mike,

Yes, it would certainly be a good idea to reinstall the
Pinball game. Here's the instructions you can use...

To add/remove Windows XP Games: Click START / Control Panel /
Add or Remove Programs / Add Remove Windows Components /
Accessories and Utilities / [Details...] / Games / [Details...] / then check
(or uncheck and then recheck the game) / Click [OK] 3 times to finish.

Pinball is not on that list by default. You may need to use these steps first:

1. Choose Start / Run / Copy+Paste the next line into the RUN box and press [ENTER]:
notepad %SystemRoot%\Inf\Sysoc.inf

2. Scroll down to the line that reads: Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7
and delete the word HIDE from the line so it now reads: Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,,7

3. Click File / Exit and choose YES to save the changes you made to the file.

4. Click Start / Settings / Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs and follow the
instructions posted in the first paragraph to reinstall Pinball now that it's on the list.
