Pinball Science

On machines with direct X 7 or higher installed there is an issue that after correctly answering the questions to unlock a piece of the pinball game the system will hang.  Normally the keyboard and mouse clicks are un-responsive.  We have noticed that holding down the (Alt+Tab) key combinationat the same time 2 times in a row it will usually jar the program loose and allow it to continue. The first (Alt+Tab) will minimize the program and the second (Alt+Tab)will maximize it again. I have verified this to be a problem with Direct X 7 and higher.

At this point we do not have a fix for this issue. Also, we have done some testing and noticed while answering the questions if you click the "OK" button rather than hit "Enter" on the keyboard you may be able to avoid the freezing problem.

Game Play

 In each level of Pinball Science you will need to answer the questions, place all of your components in the Pinball Game, then to move to the next level you will need to play and complete the Pinball game.

 During the Pinball Game you will notice an indented arrow appear on the ground, you will need to hit the ball the direction the arrow is pointing. This will happen 2 times during the Pinball game. When you complete the Pinball Game you will be able to move to the next level.
