To achive this, remove any TSR and device drivers.

PCS-PINBALL.
Problem: CD-Sound is not functioning correctly.
Answer : Get a newer MSCDEX Driver. Preferly 2.32 or greater.
Problem: The Sound in the game is not correct or the game hangs up.
Answer : Your soundcard is not 100% compatible to SoundBlaster cards.
Turn off sound in menu.
Problem: If HIGHRESOLUTION is on, the game is not working correctly.
Answer : Turn off the HIGHRESOLUTION or buy a better VGA board.
Problem: If OVERSCAN is on, the DOT-MATRIX not fully visible on screen.
Answer : Fix the problem by fiddling around with the "V-SIZE" at your screen.
