3D Pnball definately does not like 64bit XP

Whoa! Saw this in the games folder and ran it for fun.. whole system slowed
to a crawl and the mouse pointer stuttered around in extreme slow motion
until I was able to close the window.

Whew. Really funny considering that it comes "standard" with MS Windows.

Did you try it full screen mode or restored window?

Hi, Max.

It works fine for me! I hadn't tried it until you mentioned it, but it
fired right up. I ran it full-screen and it seemd as fast as ever. I'm no
gamer, but I got over a million points in the first (and only) game I ran.
;<)

The only other game I've run in 64-bit is Solitaire - and it took me more
than a dozen games to win. But the program - mouse and all - seemed to run
just like in 32-bit.

Its probably some video driver issue or a one time glitch.

Note: Tried it in full screen and it worked good for a couple seconds, then
it started to slow down again, mouse stuttered around as I tried to move it,
then the screen went black and just sat there.. windows key no good,
alt-ctrl-del also didn't do anything.

Yikes

Ah well.. I don't play it anyway.

That doesn't always work. Did you try a Alt+TAB?
