Installation Complete

1. PinballX has installed successfully. Leave a tick next to Setup PinballX if you wish to launch the Setup Wizard after the installation.

After the installation is complete you can launch the Setup Wizard to familiarize yourself with PinballX settings, but before you start changing/configuring PinballX, it is recommended that you launch PinballX itself to make sure it starts and displays the 3 demo tables that you installed on the Select Additional Tasks screen. (No tables are included but you can view the images/videos/instruction cards/flyers). You may discover that videos do not play within PinballX. If that is the case the recommended solution is to install Shark Codecs, which typically resolves the issue in nearly every case.
