RE: Wavemix.inf missing from pinball folder
Hi, rhino,
Have you tried to add the Pinball game through the Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs? Check to see if Pinbell is listed in the Games. To get
there: Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows
Components (button is on left) > place checkmark in Accessories and Utilities
box > click on Details button (lower right) > Select Games > click on Details
(lower right) > Pinball should be listed along with the other games. Click
to make a checkmark in the Pinball box. 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. If it was not on the list, then you will be prompted for
the Windows XP Setup disk.
I had this same problem and this solution worked for me. I can't take any
credit for the genius of the answer, as I found it here in the boards,
originally posted by Jimmy S. in 2006, see thread titled Microsoft 3D Pinball.
Hope it works for you, too.
