Hi,

Thank you.

Yes.
Open regedit (Start, Run, type in regedit and hit ENTER.) Navigate down to;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Plus!\Pinball \SpaceCadet]
and export the key as a .reg file. (Examp. SvdPBScr.reg)
You should end up with something like this;
================================================== ===
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Plus!\Pinball \SpaceCadet]
"Table Version"=dword:00000001
"Table Exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Windows NT\\Pinball\\PINBALL.EXE"
"Table Name"="Space Cadet"
"0.Name"="Pennman"
"0.Score"="880000"
"1.Name"=""
"1.Score"="-999"
"2.Name"=""
"2.Score"="-999"
"3.Name"=""
"3.Score"="-999"
"4.Name"=""
"4.Score"="-999"
"Verification"="876721"
================================================== ===
Copy the saved reg file to the machine you wish to place the scores.
On that machine, open regedit (Start, Run, type in regedit and hit ENTER.) Navigate down to;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Plus!\Pinball \SpaceCadet]
Observe and note what entries are "open" ie;
"1.Name"=""
"1.Score"="-999"
Note the corresponding entry numbers. 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Close regedit.
Right click on the saved .reg file from the other machine and choose EDIT.
Delete all lines (below;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Plus!\Pinball \SpaceCadet]
"Table Version"=dword:00000001
"Table Exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Windows NT\\Pinball\\PINBALL.EXE"
"Table Name"="Space Cadet"
except for your username and score. (Two lines.)
Change your number (0.Name"=) to a "free number" 1, 2, 3, etc (so as not to alter existing scores on the machine.)
Save and exit.
Right click on the reg file and choose Merge. Confirm the Merge.
