Uninstall Visual Pinball, whatever you put on there in order to run it. I´d even recommend deleting all the related zip files as well - that´s what I did, you need to start completely fresh. Even a wrong version of a zip file will make it not run properly.Then, go here:<a href="http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=tutorials&article=1" target="_blank">http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=tutorials&article=1</a>You need to really, REALLY, REALLY follow every single step of this guide closely (not saying that you didn´t, just stressing this point). On my first try I just kinda flew over it and as a result it just crashed all the time. All this dragging of DLLs and "run as admin" is extremely important. I have Win7 64bit as well. It´s easy to miss a step, and boom, nothing works.And, again: Don´t extract stuff unless it tells you to! Maybe that might have been one of the reasons it didn´t work for me initially. You also need to pay attention to the ROM names the table wants, for instance if it wants "RCT_7x" (I made that one up), another version of the ROM won´t work. Do only what it tells you to do!I usually just run the table data from the editor first, see what error message pops up, write down the exact name and THEN download the ROM off the VPForums site. Everything is rather finnicky, unlike, say, an SNES emulator that just run any version of a game, VPin is very picky <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> It´s worth the effort and all the pseudo-hacking, though <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /> (I mean, it might also be possible that you simply have a system that won´t run the game, but as I said, I have Win7 64bit as well, it´s an Intel though, ATI graphics, maybe there´s the problem, who knows...) I did my first sucessful installation just two weeks ago, so this guide is very unliked to be already outdated.Good luck!</blockquote>
