Star Trek Pinball

Post » Thu Apr 02, 2009 12:25 pm

You're going to love this, but I have a rather old copy of Star Trek Pinball on CD. As I remember, it was designed to still run on Windows NT, and should (in theory) run on XP. The games starts, after install, and runs then gives the wonderful Blue Screen of Death (been a while since I've seen this). I'm an engineer in computers and work in an industry most of you don't know. It's the Pick industry, but work mostly in a language called Universe (which was owned by IBM for the past 12+ years) and now owned by Rocket Software (Thank God). My last few years has been web related working with Visual Studio, Front Page, .NET ans mostly build API interfaces.
In any case, I'm wondering if anyone even has an idea here. Thanks, David.

So you're looking for a way to run your copy of Star Trek Pinball in Windows XP without having it crash? What happens if you

- Right click the game icon
- Click "Properties"
- Click the "Compatibility" tab
- Under the "Compatibility Mode" option choose a different OS
- Click "Ok"

Does the game run then?
