Step3 : Press Shift and F10 keys simultaneously when you see the scroll bar and the words "copying files." This will direct you to the command prompt screen.

Step4 : Type cd \ on the command prompt screen.

Step5 : Type: cd "Program Files".

Step6 : Press enter, then type cd "Windows XP".

Step7 : Press enter again, and then type cd Pinball.

Step8 : Type Pinball.exe to begin the pinball program. Enjoy until the Windows XP download finishes.

Play pinball while installing? Sounds fun. I'm going to get a new laptop so I might as well try this when installing XP.
