    Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (in left column).....Accessories & Utilities - Details button > Accessories - Details button > Calculator should be checked - if not check it and OK your way out.

    There's many free calculators if you do a search for calc.msi.

    But here's a download for an enhanced version of the standard one.
    Basically the same as the standard one but also has various conversions.

    From Microsoft:
    calcplus.msi

    Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Calculator should be listed.

    Hi Keith wavemix.inf is included, or is in the zip, in the pinball folder. How and where did you load/install or are using this zip archive? Make sure the wavemix.inf file is located in the pinball folder.

    I personally would have unzipped it all into a folder "name of choice ", moved it someplace permanent and created a shortcut arrow to pinball.exe or just played from the zipped archive. Either works without a problem, for myself.
