I believe this works, but have not tried it myself.  The usual
disclaimers that you use this at your own risk and modification to the
registry may get you into deep trouble.

Copy the PINBALL.SYS from the NT 3.51 media to
%systemroot%\system32\drivers.
Modify the following registry entry:
	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\PINBALL

Add:	ErrorControl: REG_DWORD: 0x1
	Group: REG_SZ: Boot file system
	Start: REG_DWORD: 0x1
	Type:  REG_DWORD: 0x2

Then reboot.
