May just be a temporary glitch in your display drivers. The hook for the
different display is not taking hold and reverts back to normal. Try
logging off/logging on or a regular restart. Then try the game again.

I have two games installed that use different display technologies. If I
switch too fast between them, the same thing happens. Once the problem
appears, the methods above resolve the problem.

Pressing F4 will toggle full screen/windowed screen for the Pinball game
that comes with XP.
 
if you want a good pinball game spend $10 and find Sierra
Thrillride. uses gamepad or keyboard has lots of
settings and tons of features. full screen and audio is
real good. stores best scores. stable in xp env.
