see if you can find the pinball folder on that disk and pinball.exe heck do a file search for pinb*.* on the dvd and copy all that stuff back to the default location (which i think is either in the windows folder or system32...for whatever reason i can't remember...and the games aren't installed on this computer)

That didn't work out either - the Recovery disc didn't have the Pinball folder. It's all there in C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Pinball, but it just won't open. Could it be something necessary to run this game has been erased or corrupted?

Yes indeed an awful lot of trouble to keep grandchildren amused. No I don't have access to a disc. Doesn't look hopeful, but there must be a way.

well..with an actual xp cd this shouldn't be hard to fix...you would just need to uninstall and reinstall it through add/remove programs > add/remove windows components....
but the OP here doesn't have an xp disk...
if you don't have the xp disk...there are ALOT of aftermarket pinball games that can be gotten for really cheap

I've cracked it. Although I don't have access to an XP disc I did find another computer running XP. I copied C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Pinball folder to a portable flash drive and transferred it to my laptop.
Thanks for your help.
