General pinball.chm Runtime Errors

Most CHM errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your pinball.chm file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Windows), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, pinball.chm file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Windows, system crash while loading or saving pinball.chm, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your pinball.chm issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the pinball.chm error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) to restore the corrupt or missing pinball.chm file.

System File Checker is a utility included with every Windows version that allows you scan and restore corrupted system files. Use the SFC tool to fix missing or corrupt pinball.chm files (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "cmd" but DO NOT PRESS "ENTER".
  3. Press and hold "CTRL-Shift" on your keyboard while pressing "ENTER".
  4. You'll be prompted with a permission dialog box.

Download pinball.chm Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying pinball.chm to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows CHM files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing pinball.chm and all other CHM files for Windows. An incorrectly installed CHM file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
